Question 939237: Please help me solve this equation and how to properly work it: [Two students are chosen at random from a class of 30. What is the probability that both you and your best friend will be chosen?] All i've gotten is that there is a 1/15 chance, and that isn't one of my options

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Assuming you and your best friend are both members of the class,
you and he (or she) is one pair out of 30C2 pairs. So the probability
is 1%2F%2830C2%29+=+1%2F435
