Answer 1

1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the likelihood or chance that an event will occur.

If a class is made up of 9 boys and 6 girls, the total number of people in the class is expressed as;

Total number of student = 9+6 = 15student

If half of the girls wear glasses, then;

Number of girls that wear glasses = 6/2 = 3 girls

The probability that the student is a girl with glasses = number of girls that wear glasses/Total people in the class

The probability that the student is a girl with glasses = 3/15

The robability that the student is a girl with glasses = 1/5
