there are 5 students in mun elligible for a particular event at the next conference however, only two can compete. they are equally qualified, so it is decided that the contestants will be randomly selected. what is the probability that the first two students alphabetically will be selected?



Answer :

The probability of selecting two students has 10 ways

Total number of students = 5

Only two students can be selected for the conference who are equally qualified.

The probability that the first two students selected alphabetically is derived from the combinations.

Therefore, the final probability for selecting the students randomly is,

x = ⁵C₂

x = [tex]\frac{5!}{2!*(5 - 2)!}[/tex]

x = 10

Hence, the probability of selecting two students has 10 ways.
