To find the probability that the volleyball team consists of 4 boys and 2 girls, we need to consider the total number of ways to select 4 boys from the group of 6 boys and 2 girls from the group of 6 girls, divided by the total number of ways to select 6 players from the combined group of boys and girls.
Total number of ways to select 4 boys from group of 6 = 6C4 = 15
Total number of ways to select 2 girls from group of 6 = 6C2 = 15
Total number of ways to select 6 players from group of 12 = 12C6 = 924
The probability that the team consists of 4 boys AND 2 girls
= (15 x 15) / 924
= 75/308
The correct answer is E
