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?

If 8 are absent then it means (17 - 8 = 9) 9 are present.
So, the probability of attendance is
Therefore, the probability of attendance is 0.529 (rounded to three places)
