Answer:

8/13

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 : Write all the data

Total number of students = 26

Number of girls in class = 10

Number of boys in class = 26-10 = 16

Step 2 : Find the probability

Probability of pulling out a boy's name = number of boys in class

                                                             Total number of students in class

= 16/26

Simplify :

16/26 = 8/13
