Question 4

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 frontΒ tickets 2 can be selected inΒ $$^{4\ }C\ _2$$

The remaining 1 ticket has to be selected inΒ Β $$^{2\ }C\ _1$$

Hence total ways of selecting 3 tickets such that 2 of them are front row areΒ Β $$^{4\ }C\ _2$$ *Β $$^{2\ }C\ _1$$

3 out of 6 tickets can be selected inΒ $$^{6\ }C\ _3$$ ways.

Required probability =Β $$^{4\ }C\ _2$$ * $$^{2\ }C\ _1$$ /Β $$^{6\ }C\ _3$$

Which is equal to 0.6
