We are told that there are the names of 12 girls and 14 boys in a hat. we are asked about the probability of drawing the name of a boy. To do that, we need to divide the number of boy's names over the total amount of names in the bag, like this:
[tex]\frac{14}{12+14}=\frac{14}{26}=0.538[/tex]Therefore, the probability is 0.538 or 53.8%
