Explanation / Answer

Well since there are three democrates , four republicans and one independent, then there are 8 total. Your answer will be out of 8...so the probability of the committe consiting of no republicans would be 4/8 or 1/2 because you add all democrates and independents leaving out the republicans since you do not want to include them and you get 4 then put that over 8 and you get 1/2. The probablity of the committe consisting of all republicans would be 4/8 or 1/2 as well since there are 4 republicans in all.
