Question

Mr. Adams has 14 boys and 8 girls in his mathematics class. If he chooses two students at random to work on the board, what is the probability that both students chosen are boys? Show your work. (DO NOT GIVE LINKS)

Answer 1

`(13)/(33)`

Explanation:

14 + 8 = 22

14/22

22 - 1 = 21

14 - 1 = 13

The next time there are 21 students and 13 boys.

13/21

14/22 × 13/21

13/33

Answer 2

7/11

Explanation:

Total students (14+8) = 22

Boys = 14

Probability for boys,

= 14/22

= 7/11

I'm not sure. Hope, this is correct.
