The ratio of girls to total students is 15:25, or 3:5. Three out of five students are girls so there would be a 60% probability that a girl would be chosen; a 2 out of 5 chance, or 40% probability that a boy would be chosen.

In a second grade class containing 13 girls and 9 boys 2 students are selected at random to give out the math papers. What is the probability that the second student chosen is a boy given that the fir?

To find the probability that the second student chosen is a boy given that the first student chosen is a boy, we first note that there are 22 students total (13 girls and 9 boys). If the first student chosen is a boy, there will then be 8 boys and 13 girls remaining, making a total of 21 students left. Therefore, the probability that the second student is a boy is the number of remaining boys (8) divided by the total remaining students (21), which gives us a probability of ( \frac{8}{21} ).
