Answer:

0.3571 or 35.14%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 15 children in total in the class at first. Of those children, 5 are second graders and 10 are not.

If the first chosen children was not a second grader, there are 5 second graders among the 14 children left. The probability of selecting a second grade child is:

[tex]P = \frac{5}{14}\\P=0.3571\\P=35.71\%[/tex]

The probability is 0.3571 or 35.14%.

Answer:

35.14%
