There are a total of 400 students in the school, with 78 students in the Acers team.
After the first selection, there will be 399 students left in the school and 77 students left in the Acers team.
Therefore, the probability of drawing another student from the Acers team on the second try is 77/399, which simplifies to approximately 0.193 or 19.3%.
Stillwater Junior High divides students into teams taught by a group of teachers. The table shows the number of students in each team.

The principal uses a computer to randomly select the name of a student from all the students in the school. With the computer program, it is possible to draw the name of the same student twice.
