Consider a political discussion group consisting of 10 Democrats, 8 Republicans, and 3 Independents. Suppose that two group members are randomly selected, in succession, to attend a political convention. Find the probability of selecting two Independents.---☐ (Type an integer or a simplified fraction.)

No.of democrats = 10 No.of Republicans = 8 No.of independents = 3 Total no.of members = 21 (i.e.…

In a class there are 4 students who are 19 years old and obtained 80 pints in the midterm. There are 6 students who are 19 years old and obtained 50 pints in the midterm. There are 6 students who are 20 years old and obtained 80 pints in the midterm. There are n students who are 20 years old and obtained 50 pints in the midterm. There are no other students. We randomly pick a student in the class, let their age be X and their score by Y. If we are given that X, Y are independent random variables, then compute n.
