Helen and Patty both belong to a club of 23 members. A committee of 4 is to be selected at random from the 23 members. Find the probability that both Helen and Patty will be selected. STEP 1: What is the probability that Helen gets one of the 4 seats on the committee? (Enter your probability as a fraction.) STEP 2: What is the probability that Patty gets one of the remaining chairs on the committee? (Enter your probability as a fraction.) STEP 3: What is the probability that Helen and Patty both get chairs on the committee? (Enter your probability as a fraction.)
