Answer:

StartFraction 24 Over 65 EndFraction

Explanation:

Total number of students = 26

Number of boys = 10

Number of girls = 26-10

=16

Eduardo has to pull two names out of the hat without replacing them.

First name

Probability= Favourable outcome/Total outcome

Probability of girls=16

Total probability=26

Eduardo has to pull two names out of the hat without replacing them.

Probability= Favourable outcome/Total outcome

=16/26

=8/13

For the second name:

Without replacement of the first hat

Probability of girls=16-1=15

Total probability=26-1=25

Probability= Favourable outcome/Total outcome

=15/25

=3/5

Probability of both of Eduardo's partner for the group project will be girls=8/13*3/5

=24/65
