In a standard deck of playing cards, there are 52 cards. Of these cards, there are 2 red kings. If someone randomly selects 2 cards from the deck, the probability of selecting exactly one red king is the joint probability of a red king on the first draw and not on the second draw [(2/52) × (50/51)] plus the joint probability of a red king on the second draw and not the first draw [(50/52) × (2/51)]. This probability is best described as a(n):) [, b- v" c7 f# _: V/ y7 i

E l6 V1 {6 `; nBrenda Conroy, CFA, is researching whether market share is positively correlated with return on equity among specialty retailers. Conroy selects five companies at random from each of ten groups of specialty retailers (auto parts stores, shoe stores, music stores, etc.). Conroy ranks the sampled companies by market share and by return on equity and conducts a test of the correlation between these firms’ market share ranks and their return-on-equity ranks. Conroy’s sampling technique and the type of statistical test she is performing are most accurately described as:+ E) R& P! \4 \7 V# I$ s
