Question

Mrs. Chavis's statistics class has 26 students in it, 14 girls and 12 boys. She uses a calculator to select two students at random to solve a problem on the board.

Answer 1

The probability that both students are girls is 0.28

Probability is the likelihood or chance that an event will occur

Probability  = n(E)/n(S)

where:

• n(E) is the number of events
• n(S) is the total sample space:

If Mrs. Chavis's statistics class has 26 students in it, then n(S) = 26

Since three are 14 girls in it, hence n(E) = 14

Pr(both students are girls) = 14/26 * 13/25 (without replacement)

Pr(both students are girls) = 182/650

Pr(both students are girls) = 0.28

Hence the probability that both students are girls is 0.28
