You won a free trip to France for you and 5 friends/Family. After careful consideration, you narrowed the possible attendees to 6 of your family members and 9 of your friends. What’s the probability that 2 family members and 3 friends attend the trip to Europe with you

Given the following question:

We have 6 family members

We have 9 friends

We are only allowed to take five of these firends/family, since we are trying to find the probability of you taking 2 family members, and 3 of your friends we have to..

6 + 9 = 15


(5)/(15)\text{ or }(2)/(6)(3)/(9)

Where the 5 represents the attendees and the 5 (3 and 2) represent the probability of the 5 you will take to france are friends or family.
