Answer:

12/67

Explanation:

If you look at the chart, only 12 students that are male got a A. So the probability is 12 out of 67 students or approximately 18%.

Answer:

12/37 is the right answer. ★

Explanation:

  • Number of male students who got 'A' in the test is 12
  • Number of total male students in the test is 37
  • Probability that the male student got an 'A' is = (Number of male students who got 'A' in the test)/(Number of total male students in the test) = 12/37
