Answer: There is only 1 girl.

Explanation:

As you can see the probability of choosing a girl is 4/11 out of the whole people which is 7 boys and 4 girls. And the same way the probability of choosing a boy is 7/11 which is almost doubled the amount of girls. So to think about it, there will be more boys than girls if there is a random selection because the boys chances of getting picked is high.
