Answer 1

my guess is 14 over 26

Answer 2

The correct option is B) 14 over 26.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

It is given that the class 14 girls and 12 boys.

Thus the total number of students are: 14+12=26

Probability of a favorable outcome is:
`\frac{\text{number of favorable outcomes}}{{Total number of possible outcomes}}`

The number of favorable outcomes are 14 as we wants the girls name to drawn.

Now substitute the respective values in the above formula:

`(14)/(26)`

Hence, the correct option is B) 14 over 26.
