Answer:

0.3043 or 30.43%

Explanation:

I think what you are asking is what is the chance of her choosing a chicken? if so, just take the number of chicken divided by the total number of animals.

7 divided by 23 = 0.3043

you could also take the chance of choosing any animal ( 1 out of 23 ) and multiply by how many chickens there are too, but that is a bit more messy with the decimals.
