    The probability that the first is a girl is 5/11 because there are five girls and eleven total players.

    Choosing from the remainder, the probability that the second is a girl is 4/10 because there are four girls and ten total players.

    To find the probability that both are girls, we multiply these two probabilities together.

    P = (5/11) * (4/10) = 20 / 110 = 2/11
