8/18 HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

4/9

Explanation:

Probability is defined as the possibility that an event will occur or not occur.

Probability = Possible outcome of event/Total outcome

Total outcome = total number of local artist = 10+3+5 = 18

Probability that the artist chosen will be a sculptor = 3/18 (since there are 3 sculptors).

Probability that the artist chosen will be a photographer = 5/18 (since there are 5photogragher)

Probability that the artist chosen will be a sculptor or a photographer will give;

3/18+5/18 = 8/18

= 4/9
