Answer:

1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that both selected students play basketball is 1/19

1. Determine the probability of selecting the first basketball player: 5/20 = 1/4

2. Since one student has already been selected, there are 4 basketball players left out of 19 students

3. Calculate the probability of selecting the second basketball player: 4/19

4. Multiply the probabilities: (1/4) * (4/19) = 1/19
