Question 13 • Geometry

Four seniors and six juniors are competing for four places on a quiz bowl team. What is the approximate probability that all four seniors will be chosen at random?

Answer
A
0 point 0 0 4 7 6
B
0 point 0 7 1 4 2
C
0 point 0 6 6 6 7
D
0 point 0 0 0 2 0

Explanation

There are 10 students total, and the number of ways to choose 4 team members is C(10,4) = 210. Only one of those groups consists of all four seniors, so the probability is 1/210 ≈ 0.00476. The approximate probability is 0.00476, choice D.
