Question

16 girls and 14 boys put their names in a bag. One name is drawn from the bag. What is the probability that a boy's name will be pulled

Answer 1

Answer:
`(7)/(15)`

Explanation:

Given

There are 16 girls and 14 boys

The favorable chances that a boy name comes up are 14

Probability is given by the ratio of favorable chances to the total chances

So, the probability that a boy's name will be pulled is

`\Rightarrow P=(14)/(14+16)\\\\\Rightarrow P=(14)/(30)\\\\\Rightarrow P=(7)/(15)`
