Given that the second student chosen is a girl, the probability that both students are female is 0.175.
The occurrence of likely events is referred to as probability. It is the branch of mathematics concerned with numerical estimates of the likelihood of an event occurring or a statement being true.
Probability is nothing but likelihood of something is to occur. When we are unsure about the outcome of an event, we can discuss the probabilities of certain outcomes—how likely they are.
The probability of selecting a girl from the class is
[tex]= \frac{Number\ of\ girls}{ Total\ number\ of\ students}= \frac{14}{26}\\\\= \frac{7}{13}[/tex]
It is known that the one of the chosen student from 2 students is girl, the probability of having both girls will be:
[tex]= \frac{7}{16} * \frac{6}{15}\\\\= 0.175[/tex]
Hence, the probability is 0.175.
