The total number of ways two names can be drawn from ten people is 10 choose 2, which is equal to 45.
The number of ways Alicia and her friend can be chosen as the winners is 1 (Alicia first, friend second) + 1 (Friend first, Alicia second) = 2.
Therefore, the probability that Alicia and her friend will be the winners is 2/45 or approximately 0.0444 or 4.44%.
Alicia and her friend are entered in a raffle drawing along with eight other people. Two names are drawn-one right after the other. The same person can't win twice. What is the probability that Alicia and her friend will be the winners? (1 point)

thats not correct
Let's try again.
There are a total of 10 people, and two names will be drawn, one after the other.
The total number of ways two names can be drawn from 10 people is 10 choose 2, which is equal to 45.
Since Alicia and her friend are two out of the 10 people, the number of ways they can be chosen as the winners is 2 choose 2, which is equal to 1.
So, the probability that Alicia and her friend will be the winners is 1/45 or approximately 0.0222 or 2.22%.
