Answer 1

20.45%

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that the student got a B is

`\frac{total\#of\text{ students that got B}}{\text{total students }}*100\%`

Now, how many students are there in total?

The answer is

`10+3+16+4+6+5=44\; \text{students}`

How many students got a B?

The answer is

`3+6=9\; \text{students}`

therefore, the probability that the student has got a B is

`\frac{9\text{ students }}{44\text{ students }}*100\%=20.45\%`

Hence, the probability that a student has got a B is 20.45%
