4/21

Explanation:

Answer 2

4/21

Explanation:

⇒This question is on probability

⇒Number of boys=3

⇒Number of girls=4

⇒P(S)= 4+3=7

Probability for a girl to win is= 4/7

We have 3 awards a free movie ticket, a collectible poster, or a free popcorn

P(S)= 3

Probability of being awarded a free popcorn = 1/3

The probability that a girl will win free popcorn =

`(4)/(7) * (1)/(3) = (4)/(21)`
