The probability of selecting of 1 boy from the first group is 1/4, 1 girl 3/4 The probability of selecting of 1 boy from the second group is 1/2, 1 girl 1/2 The probability of selecting of 1 boy from the third group is 3/4, 1 girl 1/4. The probability of selecting of 1 girl and 2 boys is P(girl from I group) AND P(boy from II group) AND P(boy from III group) OR P(boy from I group) AND P(girl from II group) AND P(boy from III group) OR P(boy from I group) AND P(boy from II group) AND P(girl from III group) In Math it equals to (AND = "*", OR = "+"): 3/4*1/2*3/4 + 1/4*1/2*3/4 + 1/4*1/2*1/4 = 9/32 + 3/32 + 1/32 = 13/32
