  105/252 = 0.41666...

Step-by-step explanation:

There are (7C4)(3C1) = (35)(3) = 105 ways to choose exactly 4 boys. There are 10C5 = 252 ways to choose 5 youths, so the probability that a randomly chosen team will consist of exactly 4 boys is ...

  105/252

nCk = n!/(k!(n-k!))

There is a 41.67% probability that exactly 4 boys are picked in this team of 5.

Step-by-step explanation:
