Consider a political discussion group consisting of 8 Democrats, 4 Republicans, and 2 Independents. Suppose that two group members are randomly selected, in succession, to attend a political convention. Find the probability of selecting no Democrats

The probability is 30/182

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of people to select from is

8 + 4 + 2 = 14

We want to select two who are not democrats

Probability of selecting first one who is not a democrat will be 6/14

Probability of selecting a second who is not a democrat will be 5/13

So the probability of the two not being democrats will be 6/14 * 5/13 = 30/182
