Answer:

The answer is "0.4329 ".

Explanation:

P( three in favor of FA)

Select 3 out of 6 FA supporters then select 2 out of 5 FB supportive judges


=\frac{^(6)_{C_(3)}* ^(5)_{C_(2)}}{^(11)_{C_(5)}}\\\\=((6!)/(3!(6-3)!)* (5!)/(2!(5-2)!))/((11!)/(5!(11-5)!))\\\\=((6!)/(3! * 3!)* (5!)/(2! * 3!))/((11!)/(5! * 6!))\\\\=((6 * 5 * 4 * 3!)/(3 * 2 * 1* 3!)* (5 * 4 * 3!)/(2 * 1 * 3!))/((11 *10 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6! )/(5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 * 6!))\\\\


=( (5 * 4) *(5 * 2))/((11 * 3 * 2 * 7 ))\\\\=( 20 * 10 )/((11 * 42))\\\\=( 200 )/(462)\\\\=(100 )/(231)\\\\=0.4329
