A group of students has 3 boys and 6 girls. Two are chosen at random to represent the school in a spelling competition. Find the probability that both are girls.
Total number of ways to select two students = 9C2 = 36 Total number of ways to select two girls from 6 gals = 6C2 = 15 Probability = 15/36= 5/12
