Question 1

The chart shows a certain city's population by age.  Assume that the selections are independent events.  If 11 residents of this city are selected at random, find the probability that the first 2 are 65 or older, the next 2 are 25-44 years old, the next 6 are 24 or younger, and the last is 45-64 years old.

City X's Population by Age
0-24 years old 33%
