Answer:

Option D. 91/4950

Step-by-step explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Barcelona (B) = 23

Real Madrid (R) = 23

Liverpool (L) = 22

Manchester City (M) = 18

Juventus (J) = 14

Total (T) = 100

Next, we shall determine the probability of the first pick i.e probability of Juventus. This is illustrated below:

P(J1) = n(J) /n(T)

P(J1) = 14/100

Now, the picking is done without replacement. The next pick being Juventus will reduce in number and likewise the total number will also reduce i.e

Juventus = 13

Total = 99

Therefore, the probability that the 2nd pick is Juventus is given below:

P(J2) = 13/99

Now, we can obtain the probability that the 1st and 2nd student prefer Juventus as follow:

P(J1 and J2) = P(J1) x P(J2)

P(J1) = 14/100

P(J2) = 13/99

P(J1 and J2) = P(J1) x P(J2)

P(J1 and J2) = 14/100 x 13/99

P(J1 and J2) = 7/50 x 13/99

P(J1 and J2) = 91/4950

Therefore, the probability that the 1st and 2nd student prefer Juventus is 91/4950
