Question

There are 12 boys and 12 girls in Ms. Mooney’s homeroom class. Ms. Mooney will randomly pick 1 student to take attendance today.

Which statement explains how to find the probability that Sara, a student from Ms. Mooney’s homeroom class, will be the student picked?


PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

There is a
`(1)/(24)` chance that Sara will be picked.

There is a 4.16% chance that Sara will be picked.

Explanation:

there are 12 boys + 12 girls in Mooney's class => 24 total students

Sara is ONE out of those students

Sara is
`(1)/(24)`.

`(1)/(24)` as a percent is 4.16%.
