b. 91

c. 253

d. 23,023

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the order isn't important, use combinations.

a. From 37 students, choose 4:

₃₇C₄ = 66,045

b. From 14 juniors, choose 2:

₁₄C₂ = 91

c. From 23 juniors, choose 2:

₂₃C₂ = 253

d. Multiply answers from b and c:

91 × 253 = 23,023

e. Divide answer from d by answer from a:

23,023 / 66,045 = 0.349
