Given eight students four of which are females if two students are selected at random without replacement what is the probability that both students are female?
The probability of selecting 1 female at random is 4/8 There are now 7 students, 3 of which are female so the probability of selecting another female is 3/7 The probability two randomly selected students are female is (4/8)x(3/7)= 3/14

What is the random sampling method?
Random sampling is a method of selecting a sample where each member of the population has the same probability of being included in the sample. An equivalent statement is that each subset of the population, of the given size, has the same probability of being selected as any other subset of that size.

1/365 = 0.00274
What is the probability the random variable will assume a value between 40 and 60?
It depends on what the random variable is, what its domain is, what its probability distribution function is. The probability that a randomly selected random variable has a value between 40 and 60 is probably quite close to zero.
What are the odds of selecting a four of diamonds out of a deck of fiffty-two card?
The answer depends on the number of draws, whether or not hey are random, whether or not cards are returned to the deck before the next draw.If only one card that is drawn at random, the probability is 1/52.
