Joshua and Jose work at an auto repair center with 4 other workers. For a survey on health care insurance, 2 of the 6 workers will be randomly chosen to be interviewed. What is the probability that Joshua and Jose will both be chosen?
A. 1/15
B. 1/12
C. 1/9
D. 1/6
E. 1/3
P(Joshua and Jose both chosen) = P(one of the two men is chosen first
AND the other man is chosen second)
= P(one of the two men is chosen first)
x P(the other man is chosen second)
= 2/6
x 1/5
= 1/15
Answer: A
