Correct Question:
He counts 18 female students, 16 male students, and 6 teachers. There are
720 people in the auditorium. Consider the probability of selecting one person
at random from the auditorium.
Which of these statements are true?
Choose all that apply.
A: The probability of selecting a teacher is 6%.
B : The probability of selecting a student is 85%.
C : The probability of selecting a male student is 32%.
D : The probability of selecting a female student is 45%.
Explanation:
Option B and D are correct because
The total number of people in one cross section = 18 + 16 + 6 = 40.
A = The probability of selecting a teacher is = (6/40)x100 = 15 % not equal to 6 %
B = The probability of selecting a male student is = (34/40)x100 = 85%
C = The probability of selecting a male student is = (16/40)x100 = 40 % not equal to 32 %
D : The probability of selecting a female student is = (18/40)x100= 45%
