What is probability?
By simply dividing the favorable number of possibilities by the entire number of possible outcomes, the probability of an occurrence can be determined using the probability formula. Because the favorable number of outcomes can never exceed the entire number of outcomes, the chance of an event occurring might range from 0 to 1.
there are two kids in the group, Alex and his best friend Jose.
alex and Jose end up on the same team
Since the order of students in the team is not important so the combination will be used.
The number of ways of selecting 5 students out of 10 is
C(10,5) = 252
Rest of 5 students will go into team B. Therefore, the number of elements in the sample space is 252.
P(Alex and Jose are in one team) = 112 / 252 = 0.4444
Hence the probability that Alex and Jose end up on the same team is 44.4%
