Answer:

The probability that they sit next to each other is 50%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

It is given that there are four seats within the row are first come, first served during boarding.

There are 4 seats and 2 customers (Karen and Georgia)

The total number of ways in which Karen and Georgia can sit is: ^4C_2

Now if they will sit together, then consider  Karen and Georgia as a single unit.

Thus, the number of ways in which they can sit together is: ^3C_1

The required probability is:

P=\frac{^3C_1}{^4C_2} \\\\P=\frac{3}{6}\\\\P=\frac{1}{2}

Hence, the probability that they sit next to each other is 50%.

Answer:

Probability of finding girls given that only English students attend the subject =33/59

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that during English lesson, there is no other lesson ongoing. The probability of getting girls in that class only will be equivalent to 33/59 since we expect a total of 59 students out of which 33 will be girls. Similarly, in a Maths class given that only Maths students attend the class, probability of having a girl is 29/61 since out of all students, only 29 prefer Maths and the total class attendance is 61
