    Relative frequency = event*sample space

    13 girls + 9 boys = 22 students

    9/22 = 4090909091

    4090909091*100 = 40. 9 ... % = 41% (rounded)

    There is a chance of 41% of the first chosen being a boy.

    Since, a boy has already been a boy, we need to remove this number from the sample space. There is now a sample space of 21 instead of 22.

    13/21 = 0.619047619

    0.619047619*100 = 61.9 ... % = 62% (rounded)

    There is a chance of 62% of the second chosen being a girl.
