Ebony has 4 male and 7 female kittens. She picks up 2 kittens to give to a friend. Find the probability of each selection.
P(2 male) = 4C2/11C2 = 6/55
----------------------------
P (2 female) = 7C2/11C2 = 21/55
---------------------------
P (1 of each) = 1 - [6/55 + 21/55] = 1 - [27/55] = 28/55
============================
