Explanation / Answer

a) So if both should have gone to LA, that is 35/50 * 34/49 =17/35 b) We have either 35/50 * 15/49 (If LA is picked first)= 3/14                or           15/50 * 35/50 (If Miami is picked first)= 3/14                                                 sothe total for b is 3/14 + 3/14 = 6/14 = 3/7. A. 17/35. B.   3/7.
