P(2g) = 14/26 x 13/25 = 14/50 = 28/100= 28% chance
P(g/g)= 13/25= 52/100=52% chance

asked 04/17/23Mrs. Chavis's statistics class has 26 students in it, 14 girls and 12 boys.
She uses a calculator to select two students at random to solve a problem on the board.
(a) What is the probability that both students are girls?
(b) Given that the second student chosen is a girl, what is the probability that the first student was also a girl?

A tree diagram might be useful here:
So the probability of 2 girls is 7/25.
The probability of the first student being a girl given that the second student is a girl is (7/25)/(7/25 + 84/325) = (7/25)/(7/13) = 13/25
