To find the probability of randomly selecting a second grader that thinks sharks are scary, we need to find the number of second graders that think sharks are scary and divide it by the total number of second graders.

P(second grader AND sharks) = 10 / 38 = 0.2631

Convert this probability to a percentage:

P(second grader AND sharks) = 26.31%

Therefore, the probability of randomly selecting a second grader that thinks sharks are scary is 26.31%.
