In an introductory statistics class, there are 18 male and 22 female students. Two students are randomly selected (without replacement).

(a) Find the probability that the first is female

(b) Find the probability that the first is female and the second is male.

---------------

I know that this question has to use the counting method, but i got confuse with how to start because i have to now find the probability of FIRST being a female, etc. Please provide workings with explanations alongside. Thank you in advance!
