The probability of selecting 1 female at random is 4/8 There are now 7 students, 3 of which are female so the probability of selecting another female is 3/7 The probability two randomly selected students are female is (4/8)x(3/7)= 3/14
The probability of selecting a red marble is 3/9

Random sampling is a method of selecting a sample where each member of the population has the same probability of being included in the sample. An equivalent statement is that each subset of the population, of the given size, has the same probability of being selected as any other subset of that size.

The probability is 10 percent.
The probability of selecting a 17 (or any number for that matter) is 1/20 or .05 or 5%.
The statement about the probability of selecting the letter 'z' from the alphabet being 126 is incorrect. The probability of selecting any one specific letter from the 26 letters of the English alphabet is 1/26, not 126. Therefore, the probability of selecting 'z' is approximately 0.0385, or about 3.85%.

It depends on what the random variable is, what its domain is, what its probability distribution function is. The probability that a randomly selected random variable has a value between 40 and 60 is probably quite close to zero.
probability = 2/7 to be exact, 28/97 (about 28.87%)
