not amazing. because there is 11 numbers under 12 and then there are 8 numbers above 12. so 11 to 8

Hello!

To find the probability you do the amount of favorable outcomes over the total amount of outcomes

There are 8 numbers greater than 12

There are a total of 20 numbers

This is a probability of 8/20

Simplify

2/5

The answer is 2/5

Hope this helps!
