What is the probability that you and your friend are both chosen?

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The total number of ways of to choose 3 contestants out of 7 (including me and my friend)=35..................> Total outcomes.

Favorable outcomes = 2

Then the probability that me and my friend are both chosen =

Thus , the probability that me and my friend are both chosen =

Option: A is the correct answer.

The probability that you and your friend both are chosen is:

                              A.  

There are a total of 7 people and out of which 3 are to be selected.

Total possible ways of choosing three people are: 35

Also, now if you and your friend are chosen then there are 5 people left and now only one person is to be chosen out of these 5 people.

Hence, the probability is calculated as:

          Hence, the answer is:

            Option: A

60

step-by-step explanation:

a=24; b=12

step-by-step explanation:

a/b=2: 1

a=2b

36/(1+2)=12

b=12

a=24
