Question

There are 12 girls and 14 boys in math class. The teacher puts the names of the students in a hat and randomly picks one name. Then the teacher picks another name without replacing the first. What is the probability that both students picked are boys?

Answer 1

12 + 14 = 26 Students in Total.

14/26 (Chance of choosing a Boy [First Time])
13/25 (Chance of choosing a Boy [Second Time])

You remove on from numerator since there is one less boy (second time), and one less student (remove one from denominator).

14/26 * 13/25 = 28% of choosing two boys.
