Question

What is the probability of selecting a male from a group of 4 male and 8 female

Answer 1

`(1)/(3)`

Explanation:

probability (P) is calculated as

P = (desired result ) ÷ ( number of possible results )

here desired result is choosing a male from 4 males

number of possible results = 4 + 8 = 12 , then

P( male) =
`(4)/(12)` =
`(1)/(3)`

Answer 2

Answer:0.333

Step-by-step explanation:4+8=12 so there is only 4 chances it can be male so 4/12=0.333
