A hat contains slips of paper with the names of the 26 other students in Eduardo’s class on them, 10 of whom are boys. To determine his partners for the group project, Eduardo has to pull two names out of the hat without replacing them. What is the probability that both of Eduardo’s partners for the group project will not be boys?
There are 16 students who are not boys among the 26 names. The probability of drawing two of them without replacement is (16/26) × (15/25) = 24/65. So the correct choice is 24 over 65.
