360girls.....240boys.....600 students
200girl hp...120boy hp...320 hockey players
19 girl gk.... 9boy gk....28 goalkeepers
---------------------
Find the probability that
(i) a student chosen at random is a girl:: 360/600
(ii) a girl chosen at random plays hockey:: 200/600
(iii) a hockey player chosen at random is a girl::200/320
(iv) a student chosen at random is a goalkeeper::28/600
(v) a goalkeeper chosen at random is a boy::9/28
(vi) a male hockey player chosen at random is a goalkeeper::9/120
(vii) a hockey player chosen at random is a male goalkeeper::9/320
(viii) two students chosen at random are both goalkeepers:: 28C2/600C2
(ix) two students chosen at random are a male goalkeeper and a female
goalkeeper::(9/240)(19/360)
(x) two students chosen at random are one boy and one girl.(1/240)(1/360)
