Answer:
0.1143
Explanation:
There are 15 people in total because
4 democrats + 8 republicans + 3 independents = 15 people
Of them, 8 are republican, so the probability to select first a republican is
8/15
Then, you have 14 people ( 15 people less the republican), and from them 3 are independents, so the probability to select then an independent is
3/14
Therefore, the probability of selecting a Republican and then an independent is
[tex]\frac{8}{15}\times\frac{3}{14}=0.1143[/tex]So, the answer is 0.1143
