|\Omega|=C(14,2)=\dfrac{14!}{2!12!}=\dfrac{13\cdot14}{2}=91\\|A|=C(6,2)=\dfrac{6!}{2!4!}=\dfrac{5\cdot6}{2}=15\\\\P(A)=\dfrac{15}{91}\Rightarrow \text{B}

Answer: 15/91 which is choice B

=================================================================

There are two methods to find this answer.

Method 1) We have 6 girls and 8+6 = 14 students. The probability of picking a girl is 6/14 = 3/7. After the first girl is chosen, we have 5 girls left out of 14-1 = 13 students overall. The probability of picking another girl (assuming the first selection was a girl) is 5/13. Multiply these probabilities: (3/7)*(5/13) = (3*5)/(7*13) = 15/91

--------------------

Method 2) We can use the nCr combination formula. Order does not matter.

We have nCr = 6 C 2 = 15 ways to pick 2 girls. See the attached image below for the steps (figure 1)

Out of nCr = 14 C 2 = 91 ways to pick 2 students. See the attached image below for the steps (figure 2)

So that's another way to get the answer 15/91.

Answer:

53

Step-by-step explanation:

x/75=7.25/100

Cross Multiply

100x = 543.75

Simplify

x=5.4375

Multiply By The Number Of Years

5.4375 x 4 = 21.75

Subtract From The Original Number

75-21.75 = 53.25
