    a) 10 / 33

    b) 23 / 33

    c) 9 / 32

    d) 23 / 32

    e) 10 / 32

    f) 22 / 32

    g) 10 / 33

    Step-by-step explanation:

    a) P = number of pledges / total = 10 / 33

    b) P = number of full members / total = 23 / 33

    c) One pledge is out, so we have 9 pledges in 32 people.

    P = number of pledges / total = 9 / 32

    d) total number of people is 32, so:

    P = number of full members / total = 23 / 32

    e) total number of people is 32, so:

    P = number of pledges / total = 10 / 32

    f) One full member is out, so we have 22 full members in 32 people.

    P = number of full members / total = 22 / 32

    g) If the first person is a pledge:

    P1 = (10/33) * (9/32) = 15 / 176

    If the first person is a full member:

    P2 = (23/33) * (10/32) = 115 / 528

    P = P1 + P2 = 160 / 528 = 10 / 33
