A hat contains slips of paper with the names of the 26 other students in Eduardo’s class on them, 10 of whom are boys. To determ
ine his partners for the group project, Eduardo has to pull two names out of the hat without replacing them. What is the probability that both of Eduardo’s partners for the group project will be girls?
For the answer to the question above, the probability that Eduardo pulls out a girl the first time is 16/26 (26 - 10 = 16) which means that pulling out a girl a second time would be 15/25. To find out the probability of both, you have to multiply the fractions together. So (16 × 15)/(25 × 26) which is 240/650. You can simplify this to 24/65, and I believe that is the furthest you can simplify it, which means that the answer is 24/65, I hope this helps!
