2 teachers are selected, so we require to know the numbers of each to know the probability..
1) The ratio of Spanish teachers’ number to English teachers’ number is 3 to 1.
Important- you can find probability of picking one teacher but not 2 techer as it will vary depending on the number..
if there are 8.. 6 spanish and 2 English.... ans = 6/8*5/7
if there are 4.. 3 spanish and 1 English.... ans = 3/4*2/4
