\begin{gathered} \text{How many students are there in the class?} \\ 2+3+3+3=11 \\ \text{there are 11 student} \\ P(P)=\text{ probability of choose a student who chose plant} \\ How\text{ many students did choose plant?} \\ 2+3=\text{ 5} \\ \text{there are 5 student who chose plant} \\ P(P)=(5)/(11) \\ \\ P(C)=\text{probability of choose a student who used chalk} \\ How\text{ many students did use chalk?} \\ 3+3=6 \\ \text{there are 6 student who used chalk} \\ P(C)=(6)/(11) \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \end{gathered}
