There are seven boys and five girls in a class. The teacher randomly selects three different students to answer questions. The f

The likelihood of selecting one girl is calculated as $\frac{5}{12}$ . This is based on having 5 girls within a total of 12 students, and the probability of an event can be expressed as: $\frac{\text{# of things you want}}{\text{# of things are possible}}$ .

Using the same reasoning, for the next student, we have reduced the number of students by 1, leading to 11 possible outcomes instead of 12, giving us: $\frac{7}{11}$ , which represents the probability of selecting a boy as the second choice.

Lastly, the probability of choosing a girl for the third selection follows the same logic and is given as: $\frac{4}{10}$ .

However, we must combine these individual probabilities to determine the likelihood of this specific sequence of selections occurring:

$\frac{5}{12}*\frac{7}{11}*\frac{4}{10}=\frac{140}{1320}$

This simplifies to:

$\frac{7}{66}$
