There are a total of 10 golfers on the team, of which 6 are eighth graders.
The probability of selecting an eighth grader on the first pick is 6/10.
Since one golfer has already been selected, there are now 9 golfers left on the team, of which 5 are eighth graders.
The probability of selecting another eighth grader on the second pick is 5/9.
To find the probability of both events occurring (selecting two eighth grade golfers), we multiply the probabilities together:
6/10 * 5/9 = 30/90
Simplifying the fraction, we get:
30/90 = 1/3
Therefore, the probability of selecting two eighth grade golfers from a team of 10 golfers is 1/3 or approximately 0.33.

You are correct. The question does not specify if we are picking only 2 golfers or not. If we are picking more than 2 golfers, then the answer would be different since the probability of selecting an eighth grader will change with each pick. However, based on the information provided in the question ("what is the probability of 2 being eighth graders"), it seems like we are only picking 2 golfers.
