A physical education class has 12 boys and 18 girls. Each day, the teacher randomly selects a team captain. Assume that no student is absent. What is the probability that the team captain is a girl two days in a row?
------------------------------------------
P(pick a girl) = 18/30 = 3/5 = 0.6
---
P(pick a girl 2 days in a row) = (0.6)^2 = 0.36
