c) is a girl who can speak French:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

A can speak french

There are 10 students who can speak french, 4 girls and 6 boys

P(french) = speak french/ total

                = 10/30

                  = 1/3

B is a boy

There are 16 boys

P (boy) = boys/total

            = 16/30

             8/15

C girl who can speak french

There are 4 girls who can speak french

P (girl who can speak french) = girl who can speak french/ total

                                                   =4/30

                                                     2/15

a) 1/3

b) 8/15

c) 2/15

Step-by-step explanation:

Total students: 30

Girls: 14

Boys: 30 - 14 = 16

French speaking: 4 + 6 = 10

a) P(French speaking) = 10/30

1/3

b) P(boy) = 16/30 = 8/15

c) P(French speaking girl) = 4/30

= 2/15

b
