The 35 ‑member History Club is meeting to choose a student government representative. The members decide that the representative, who will be chosen at random, CANNOT be any of the 3 officers of the club. What is the probability that Hiroko, who is a member of the club but NOT an officer, will be chosen?

Answer: 1/32

Explanation:

There are 35 people in the history club and 3 of them cannot be chosen.

Therefore, there is 32 people Hiroko can be chosen from.

It is at random, so the probobility would be 1/32, as Hiroko is one person.
