Among 50 students enrolled in a college, 40 had applied for civil engineering and 10 had applied for mechanical engineering. If two students have been enrolled in software engineering by mistake, and the "selection" is random, what is the probability that one had applied for civil engineering and one had applied for mechanical engineering? Answer in two decimal places!
