Assume that 11 people, including the husband and wife pair, apply for 5 sales positions. people are hired at random. (1) what is the probability that both the husband and wife are hired

The probability that both the husband and wife are hired is

Explanation

Total number of people = 11 and total number of sales positions = 5

So, the total possible number of ways for selecting 5 people from 11 people will be:

Now if both the husband and wife are hired, then it means the remaining (5-2)= 3 positions are filled from the remaining (11 -2) = 9 people.

So, the possible number of ways for selecting 3 people from 9 people will be:

Thus, the probability
