    The Probability for part a is 44% chance as there are 25 kids in the class and 11 are girls so 11/25=.44 or 44%
    Part B= 47% almost 48% if you round up. If the 2 boys are set aside and not put back in the total group there are then a total of 23 kids in the class 11 of them still girls, 11/23= .478 nearly 48%
