Sample space of 7th grade (5 boys + 5 girls)

sample space of 8th grade (5 boys + 3 girls)


P(boy 7th grade) = 5/10 =1/2
P(boy 8th grade) = 5/8
Hence the probability of selecting a boy from 7th AND a boy from 8th is:

(1/2)x(5/8) ==> 5/16 ( It's a conditional probability)

So the ratios are 5:5 and 3:5 so the fractions are 5/10 (1/2) for 7th grade and 5/8 for 8th grade
