Jaylee Lewis · Answer 1

P (boy's name) = 15/26

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 26 names in the bag. We assume that any draw of a name from this bag is entirely random. Then, the probability of drawing a boy's name is 15/26.

Orlando Zavala · Answer 2

There are 15 boys and 15+11 = 26 total number of students. P (boy's name) = 15/26
