    prob question



    There are 9 people in group A, 4 people in group B and 2 people in group C.
    6 of them will win a ticket.

    1. what is the probability that all the people from group B will win a ticket ?
    2. what is the probability that all the people who won a ticket come from the same group ?

    I want to verify my answers...

    1. (4C4 * 11C2) / 15C6

    2. (9C6 * 4C0 * 2C0 ) / 15C6

    where aCb is the binomial coefficient ( a on b ).

    thanks !
