    P = 0.622

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Since 8/10 own an Android, the probability on the first selection is 8/10.

    Since the second selection is done without replacement (meaning the first selection is removed from the available choices) the probability of getting a student who owns an Android is 7/9 (we lose one possible Andriod, and one total person from the selection pool).

    To solve this we multiply the probabilities together ...

    (8/10) (7/9) = 56/90 which equals 0.622222 as a decimal, but the question wants it rounded to 3 decimals, so the final answer is 0.622
