-----
P(at least one girl on the team) = 1 - P(no girls on the team)

= 1 - 7C4/9C4
= 1 - 0.278
= 0.722

2 girls, 7 boys , total 9 persons
No. of ways to choose 4 persons from 9 = 9C4
no. of ways to choose 4 persons from 7 boys = 7C4 ( no girls)

total no. of ways in which there must be at least 1 girl = 9C4 -7C4
= 126 - 35
=91
