Re: Straight Forward Probablility Question
I agree with the first two answers, which assume 7 out of the 10 students on the team are freshmen. If we assume 7 out of 20, the answer to question 1 is correct, but question 2 is not.
The division into two teams is just a distraction if we are given the number of freshmen in the 20 person gym class. The chance than the last three players drawn for one specific team are freshmen is 7/20 * 6/19 * 5/18.
