Question

An introductory psychology class has 9 freshman males, 15 freshman females, 8 sophomore males, and 12 sophomore females. A random sample of n = 2 students is selected from the class. If the first student in the sample is a male, what is the probability that the second student will also be a male?

Answer 1

16/43

Explanation:

17 Male + 27 female = 44 students

now n= 2 so first student was male so one male student was taken out of the equation so 16 male left. now left male students by remaining students so now total left students = 43

so, prob = remaining males/remaining students=16/43
