Answer:

[tex]\frac{2}{7}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The possibility of the event A occurring is given by the formula:

[tex]\boxed{P(A)= \frac{\text{number of favourable outcomes in A}}{\text{total possible outcomes}}}[/tex]

Since the event that we are looking for (favourable event) is choosing a girl with glasses, the number of favourable outcomes is the number of girls with glasses in the class.

Number of favourable outcomes= 4

Total possible outcomes

= total number of students in the class

= 10 +4

= 14

Thus, P(girl with glasses)

= [tex]\frac{4}{14}[/tex]

= [tex]\bf{\frac{2}{7} }[/tex]
