Question

On a game show, there are 16 questions: 8 easy, 5 medium-hard, and 3 hard. If contestants are given questions randomly, what is the probability that the first two contestants will get easy questions?

Answer 1

first contestant's chance would be 8/16
second contestant's chance would be 7/15
you then multiply these two fractions for .23333333% chance, or 7/30
