A kindergarten class has 14 girls and 8 boys. If two children are randomly selected from the class, one at a time without replacement,
What is the probability that one of each gender is selected?
-------------------
Number of pairs of each gender: 14*8 = 112 pairs
----
Total number pairs 22C2 = (22*21)/(1*2) = 231
----
P(pick a pair with both genders) = 112/231 = 0.4848
