Consider a political discussion group consisting of 10 Democrats, 7 Republicans, and 3 Independents. Suppose that two group members are randomly selected, in succession, to attend a political convention. Find the probability of selecting two Democrats.
Total people in the group = 10+7+3 = 20
Number of Democrats = 10
Hence, the probability of selecting two Demicrats
= (10C2)/(20C2)
= 45/190
= 9/38 or 0.2368
