The 32-member French Club is meeting to choose a
student government representative. The members
decide that the representative, who will be chosen at
random, CANNOT be any of the 5 officers of the club.
What is the probability that Luis, who is a member of
the club but NOT an officer, will be chosen?
there are 32 officers in all and if 5 of those officers can’t be chosen you would subtract 5 from 32 and get 27 so now denominator would be 27 so luis’s probability of getting chosen is 1/27
