Answer:
The probability that out of two players chosen at random they would be a guard and a forward is 17.36%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that there are 12 men on the basketball team, of which 2 are centers, 5 are guards and the rest are forwards, to determine what is the probability, as a percent, that out of two players chosen at random they would be a guard and a forward the following calculation must be performed:
5/12 x 5/12 = X
0.4166 x 0.4166 = X
0.17361 = X
Therefore, the probability that out of two players chosen at random they would be a guard and a forward is 17.36%.
