Question

The names of 9 boys and 2 girls are in a hat. What is the probability of first drawing a girl’s name and then a boy’s name from the hat? A.)1/9 B.)9/55 C.)1/18 D.)1/11

Answer 1

B.) 9/55
this is because first you have a 2/11 chance of getting a girl's name then you have a 9/10 chance of getting a boys name.
$\frac{9}{10} \times \frac{2}{11} = \frac{9}{55}$
