Question

Rhee and Pamela are two of the five members of a band. Every week, the band picks two members at random to play on their own for five minutes. What is the probability that Rhee and Pamela are chosen this week?

Answer 1

If they are independently chosen, pr(R,P)=2/5*1/4=1/10

Answer 2

Ohh ok thank you! God bless you

Answer 3

Wait why times 1/4?

Answer 4

of the first choice, there are either of two of the five (2/5) which are acceptable. Then, of the four remaining, only one is acceptable (1/4). Joint probability is (2/5)(1/4)=2/20=1/10

Answer 5

Ohh ok, thank you!!!
