for this case we have the folloeing information: In a class we have 17 flute players and 15 Clarinet Players for the Amy's Music Class.

The total of students are:


\text{Total}=17+15=32

And then if we need to select one player (student) the probability would be given by:


p=(possible)/(total)=(1)/(32)

And the best answer would be A) 1/32
