Word problem?

I wouldn’t say that I’m an expert on this, but it seems as likely that he’d pick two juniors as pick any other combination. I can’t remember where I heard this kind of situation discussed and I was surprised by this explanation, but that’s what the expert said.
I’m pretty sure your math teacher is expecting a different answer, but the truth of it is that it’s all pretty random, isn’t it?
