Answer:

so the probability of selected student is in the drama club is 1/5

Explanation:

total students = 40

drama club= 8

art club= 12

we have to find probability of drama club

P (drama) = favorable outcome / total outcome

= 8 / 40

= 1/ 5

so the probability of selected student is in the drama club is 1/5
