Jоhn, Clаrice, Mаrcо, Rоberto, аnd Dominique work for a publishing company. The company wants to send two employees to a statistics conference. To be​ fair, the company decides that the two individuals who get to attend will have their names drawn from a hat. Determine the sample space of the experiment. That​ is, list all possible simple random samples of size n=2. ​(a) How many events are in the sample​ space?  [x] For parts b and c: Write your answer as a fraction in simplified​ form. Use the "/" for your fraction bar.  For example, one-half would be written as 1/2.    ​(b) What is the probability that John and Dominique attend the​ conference?   [y] ​(c) What is the probability that John stays homestays home​?
