Since there are 22 participants all in all. The possible combinations of the two picked for practice first is, 
                               22C2 = 231
The probability of picking one from each gender will be solved through the calculation below.
                              (10C1)x(12C1) / 231 = 40/77
In percentage, the answer would be approximately 52%. Thus, the answer is the first choice. 

Responses:

The true statements are;

  • There is approximately a 52 percent likelihood that one boy and one girl will be chosen to practice first

  • There is approximately a 19 percent likelihood that two boys will be chosen to practice first

  • There is approximately a 29 percent likelihood that two girls will be chosen to practice first

Methods used for the calculation of the probabilities

Number of boys = 10

Number of girls = 12

Total number of players = 10 + 12 = 22

Number of ways of selecting 2 players from 22 = ₂₂C₂ = 231

Number of ways of selecting a boy = ₁₀C₁ = 10

Number of ways of selecting a girl = ₁₂C₁ = 12

Number of ways of selecting one girl and one boy = ₁₀C₁ × ₁₂C₁ = 120

[tex]Likelihood \ that \ one \ girl \ and \ one \ boy \ will \ be \ chosen = \dfrac{120}{231} \approx \mathbf{ 52\%}[/tex]

Therefore;

  • The second statement is true

Number of ways of selecting 2 boys = ₁₀C₂ = 45

[tex]Likelihood \ that \ two \ boys \ chosen = \dfrac{45}{231} \approx \mathbf{ 19\%}[/tex]

Therefore;

  • The third statement is true

Number of ways of selecting 2 girls = ₁₂C₂ = 66

[tex]Likelihood \ two \ girls \ are \ chosen = \dfrac{66}{231} \approx \mathbf{ 29\%}[/tex]

Therefore;

  • The fifth statement is true
