The probability is    

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The number of members is  n = 15

Generally the number of ways of selecting two member from the fifteen members is mathematically represented as

Here C stands for combination hence we will be making use of the combination functionality in our calculator

=>  

=>  

Gnerally the number of outcome that matches the outcome required by the committee(Which is  reselecting the member who where the chairman and vice chairman of the board ) is   m =  1

Generally the probability of randomly selecting the two members who currently hold the positions of chairman and vice chairman and assigning them to their current positions is mathematically represented as
