Competition practiceData & Probability
  • A1/3
  • B3/10
  • C1/30
  • D2/3

Step-by-Step Solution

There are possible groups. Exactly 2 girls: groups. Exactly 3 girls: groups. 'At least 2' adds these two cases, giving 40 groups and a probability of 40/120 = 1/3. Answering 36/120 = 3/10 counts only the 'exactly two' case.
Answer: A) 1/3
