Question 8 • Algebra 2 with Probability
Because two names are selected from five without replacement, the outcomes are pairs of students. There are 5 × 4 = 20 ways to select two names in order, but each pair can be drawn in either order, so there are 20 ÷ 2 = 10 equally likely outcomes. Each outcome therefore has probability 1/10, which is choice A, “1 tenth.”
