(a) you both enter the same section?
(b) you both enter the different sections?
(a) you both enter the same section?
(b) you both enter the different sections?
Solution:
Total favourable outcomes in which both the students are in same section of 40 students =
C 38
Also, total favourable outcomes in which both the students are in same section of 60 students =
C 58
(a) P(both students are in same section) =
=
=
(b) P(both students are in different sections) = 1 -
Also, total favourable outcomes in which both the students are in same section of 60 students =
(a) P(both students are in same section) =
=
=
(b) P(both students are in different sections) = 1 -
