Question

Mrs. Avery is going to randomly select one student from her class to read a poem out loud. There are 15 boys and 13 girls. What is P(boy)?

Answer 1

The probability that a boy is selected is 0.5357 or 53.57%

Answer 2

53.57% is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability (P) refers to the posibility or the chances of something to happen. To calculate the chances of selecting a boy, it is necessary to know the amount of students Mrs. Avery has, which is 28 (100%) and there are 15 boys in the group, that are equal to the 53.57% of the class (3.57% each boy.)
