step 1

Find out the total possible outcomes

Calculate 19C14


19C14=(19!)/(14!(19-14)!)=11,628

step 2

Find out 10C6 (boy kittens)


10C6=(10!)/(6!(10-6)!)=210

step 3

Find out 9C8 (girl kittens)


9C8=(9!)/(8!(9-8)!)=9

step 4

Find out the probability that the director chooses 6 boys and 8 girls


P=((210)*(9))/(11,628)=0.163

the answer is 0.163
