Any idea?

littlediva12459 · Answer

2/15?

mrnood · Answer

in the first draw -
how many total?
how many girls?

so what is prob of girl in first draw?

aveline · Answer

We start out with a chance of 6/10. Then, after we remove one person, our chance of a girl is 5/9.
The chance to get two girls is 6/10*5/9
This equals 30/90, which can be simplified to 1/3.

Does this make sense?
