Question

Can someone explain this question?

Answer 1

A university admitted 100 students who transferred from other institutions. Of these students, 34 transferred from two-year community colleges, 25 transferred from private four-year institutions, and the rest transferred from public four-year institutions. If two different students are to be selected at random from the 100 students, what is the probability that both students selected will be students who transferred from two-year community colleges?

Answer 2

My assumption was to say okay if two students are to be selected at random we had to multiply the two probabilities together

Answer 3

what 2 probabilities are you multiplying?

Answer 4

@triciaal so the question is asking what is the probability that both students are from a community college.

\[\frac{ 34 }{ 100 }*\frac{ 34 }{ 100 }\]

i thought this was the answer but it's wrong.
