this problem has been driving me nuts. can someone give a simple explanation.
Five friends, Austin, Bob, Brian, Jen and Gretchen enter a contest and win two tickets to see NKOTB. They decide to put their names in a hat and choose two to see who gets the tickets. Which of the following outcomes is most likely?
A. Both Bob and Brian get a ticket.
B. Only 1 boy gets a ticket.
C. No girls get a ticket.
D. Austin gets a ticket.
I know the answer; I just want to know why.
Thanks,
