Answer 2

Answer:

42.86%

Step-by-step explanation:

Event = Girl

Therare 6 girls and 8 boys, which are thus 6+8 =14 students in total and thus there are 14 possible out comes.

# of possible outcomes = 14

There are 6 girls in the class and thus there are 6 favorable outcomes.

# of favorable outcomes = 6

The probability is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the number of possible outcomes.

P(Girl) = # of favorable outcomes

            # of possible outcomes

= $\frac{6}{14}$

= $\frac{3}{7}$

≈ 0.4286

= 42.86%

Result

$\frac{3}{7}$ ≈ 0.4286 = 42.86%
