If today there are 8 people absent from a class of 17 people.

What is the probability of attendance for tomorrow if the same students don't show up for the class?

Probability of attendance means the number of people who are present as compared to total people.

There are a total of 17 people.

If 8 are absent then it means (17 - 8 = 9) 9 are present.

So, the probability of attendance is


P(attendance)=(9)/(17)=0.529

Therefore, the probability of attendance is 0.529 (rounded to three places)
