Answer:

A. 2/5

B. 1/10

Step-by-step explanation:

First off we need to calculate the probability that the chosen child is a girl So to calculate this probability, we have to know the num. of girls which is seen in the table. There are a total of 8 girls.

Therefore the probability of a girl being chosen is equivalent to the number of girls/exact number of children = 8/20 = 2/5 simplified.

Now to find the probability that the chosen girl is left-handed.

The amount of left-handed girls there is only 2. therefore the probability of selecting a left-handed girl will be 2/20 = 1/10 simplified.
