Question 929803: A class consists of 10 boys and 15 girls. Two of the boys and five of the girls are left-handed.
If two students are chosen at random from the class, what is the probability that both are
left-handed? Answer by rothauserc(4718) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! We have two probabilities(Pr) to consider
Pr first pick is left-handed = 7/25
Pr second pick is left-handed = 6/24 = 1/4
Pr that both are left-handed = 7/25 * 1/4 = 7/100
