A college job placement center has requests from five students for employment interviews. Three of these students are math majors, and the other two students are statistics majors. Unfortunately, the interviewer has time to talk to only two of the students. These two will be randomly selected from among the five. What is the sample space for the chance experiment of selecting two students at random

Step-by-step explanation:

The following is the information provided

number of students is 5

The number of math major = 3

The number of statistic major = 2

Label math students as A, B, C

And statistic students as D, E

The total number of ways to select two students from 5 students is 10

The sample space is S = {AB,AC,BC,AD,AE,BD,BE,CD,CE,DE}

Yes , in the sample space the events are equally alike

What is the probability that both selected students are statistics majors

The selected students of statistic major are DE

the probability that both selected students are statistics majors is

= 1/10

What is the probability that both students are math majors

The selected students of statistic major are AC,AB,BC

the probability that both selected students are math majors is

= 3/10

What is the probability that at least one of the students selected is a statistics major

Number of ways to select at least one of the students selected is a statistic major is {AD,AE,BD,BE,CD,CE,DE}

the probability that at least one of the students selected is a statistics major is

7/10

What is the probability that the selected students have different majors

Number of ways to select students with different major is  {AD,AE,BD,BE,CD,CE,}

the probability that the selected students have different majors is

6/10

answer: a.

step-by-step explanation: the answer is a. because, you need to converge the fractions to find a solution.

it is a. 4.2 because 7.6-3.4 gets the remaining length of 4.2. i might be wrong but i am pretty sure this is the answer.
