The principles of probability can be used to predict the outcomes of genetic crosses. -Miller Levine (Texas Biology Text book)
No, the two of them used algebra and probability to model population biology, not natural selection, however similar the two may be.
Probability is often used to develop projections, forecasts and budgets.
probability is used in genetics to determine the possibilities of offspring having a certain trait
A probability distribution links the probability of an outcome in a statistical experiment with the chances of it happening. Probability distributions are often used in statistical analysis.

The product law in biology states that the probability of two independent events both occurring is equal to the product of their individual probabilities. Mathematically, it is expressed as: P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B). This law is fundamental in genetics and probability calculations in biology.
It depends largely on the area of biology that one is talking about, however just about every aspect of biology hinges on some aspect of probability. In Genetics for example, the probability of random assortment of genes can tell how close two genes are on the chromosome. Likewise, probability of different parental genotypes mating will give an idea of what the f1 generation will look like. Also, if one looks at the probability of random mutation of a single point, one can estimate the conversion of one genotype to another (assuming the point mutation is not lethal and the protein product cannot form correctly). In other words, it is essential in a variety of ways in Biology.
A "p" is used for probability of success. A "q" is used for probability of failure.
Probability that a girl is chosen = 23/45 = .511 So, the probability that a boy is chosen = 1 - .511 = .489
