I tried solving it by:
8C2-6C2/14C4 or 0.013 as an answer but I'm not sure if it is right. Hope you could help me. Thank you in advance! Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):

------
# of ways to succeed: 8C2*6C2 = 28*15 = 420
------
# of randomly chosen groups of 4: 14C4 = 1001
----
P(2dent and 2doc) = 420/1001 = 0.4196
