Answer 1

5/6
...................................

Answer 2

`\textbf{The probability that B is not selected = }\bf(5)/(6)`

Explanation:

A chairman is to be randomly selected from six people: A, B, C, D, E, and F

So, Total number of peoples available to be selected for chairman = 6

`\text{Probability that B is selected = }(1)/(6)`

Now, we need to find the probability that B is not selected

So, The probability that B is not selected = 1 - Probability that B is selected

`\text{So, The probability that B is not selected = }1-(1)/(6)=(5)/(6)`

`\textbf{Hence, The probability that B is not selected = }\bf(5)/(6)`
