Total number of players in the hockey team = 6 + 4 + 1 = 11
∴ n(S) = 11
▬▬▬▬▬
(1) The goalee will be selected.
Let A be the event that the captain selected will be a goalie. There is only one goalie in the hockey team.
∴ n(A) = 1
∴ P(A) = n(A) / n(S)
∴ P(A) = 1/11

(2) A defender will be selected.
Let B be the event that the captain selected will be a defender. There are 6 defenders in the hockey team.
∴ n(B) = 6
∴ P(B) = n(B) / n(S)
∴ P(B) = 6/11
