A medical clinic is randomly selecting two staff members to attend a conference. The clinic employees include 7 nurses, 3 doctors, and 2 office staff. The nurses want to know the probability that both attendees will be nurses. The tree diagram displays the possible outcomes of randomly selecting two staff members. Which probability is represented by label 3 in the tree diagram? 5/12 5/11 6/11 7/12
