If:


(Boys)/(20) = 0.45

Soon:

(Boys)/(20) = 0.45 \to Boys = 20*0.45 \to \boxed{Boys = 9}

Therefore: (It's not a boy)
Students = 20
Boys = 9
girls = ?


Girls + Boys = Students

Girls + 9 = 20

Girls = 20 - 9

\boxed{Girls = 11}

Answer: (Describe the likelihood of not choosing a boy)


(11)/(20) = \boxed{\boxed{0.55}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark
