Answer:
See below ~
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>P (6th grader)</u>
- No. of 6th graders / Total students
- 6 / 6 + 7 + 8
- 6/21
- 2/7
<u>P (6th grader after)</u>
- No. of 6th graders - 1 / Total students - 1
- 6 - 1 / 21 - 1
- 5/20
- 1/4
<u>Question 1 : P (Both 6th graders)</u>
- P = P (6th grader) × P (6th grader after)
- P = 2/7 x 1/4 = 2/28 = <u>1/14</u>
<u></u>
<u>Question 2 : P' (Both 6th graders)</u>
- P' = 1 - P
- P' = 1 - 1/14
- P' = <u>13/14</u>
