The probability of selecting 2 male and 2 female students can be calculated using combinations. First, calculate the total number of ways to select 4 students out of 37, which is C(37,4). Then, calculate the number of ways to select 2 males out of 26 and 2 females out of 11, which is C(26,2) * C(11,2). The probability is the ratio of these two values: [C(26,2) * C(11,2)] / C(37,4) = 0.271.
