There are 6 tickets to the theater, four of which are for seats in the front row. 3 tickets are selected at random. What is the probability that two of them are for the front row?
Out of all the 6 tickets, 4 are front row tickets and the rest 2 are not.
Out of 4 front tickets 2 can be selected in $$^{4\ }C\ _2$$
The remaining 1 ticket has to be selected in  $$^{2\ }C\ _1$$
Hence total ways of selecting 3 tickets such that 2 of them are front row are  $$^{4\ }C\ _2$$ * $$^{2\ }C\ _1$$
3 out of 6 tickets can be selected in $$^{6\ }C\ _3$$ ways.
Required probability =Â $$^{4\ }C\ _2$$ * $$^{2\ }C\ _1$$ /Â $$^{6\ }C\ _3$$
Which is equal to 0.6
