Question

What is the probability of selecting a male from a group of 4 males and 8 females?

Answer 1

it would be 2/4 so you  would 25% chance to get a male

Answer 2

Answer:
`(1)/(3)`

Explanation:

Given : The number of males = 4

The number of females = 8

Total group members =
`8+4=12`

Then, the probability of selecting a male from a group of 4 males and 8 females :-

`\text{P(male)}=\frac{\text{Number of males}}{\text{Total members}}\\\\=(4)/(12)=(1)/(3)`

Hence, the probability of selecting a male from a group of 4 males and 8 females =
`(1)/(3)`
