Answer:
the probability of selecting a boy and then a girl is 24 ÷ 91
Explanation:
The computation of the probability of selecting a boy and then a girl is as follows:
The probability in the case when a boy is picked up
= 8 ÷ (8 + 6)
= 8 ÷ 14
The probability in the case when a girl is picked up
= 6 ÷ (8 + 6)
= 6 ÷ 14
Now the final probability is
= 8 ÷ 14 × 6 ÷ 13 ( without replacement)
= 24 ÷ 91
hence, the probability of selecting a boy and then a girl is 24 ÷ 91
