Kayla,
8 males and 7 females
What is the probability that 2 females are selected?
total=15 males/females
probability of selecting 1 female = 7/15
probability of selecting 2 females = 7/15 * 6/14 = 0.2 = 20%
What is the probability that 2 males are selected?
total=15 males/females
probability of selecting 1 male = 8/15
probability of selecting 2 males = 8/15 * 7/14 =0.27(rounded to two decimal places) = 27%
