Complete question:

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 James, who is a member of the club but not an officer, will be chosen?

Answer:

The probability that James will be chosen is 1/32

Explanation:


Probability =(number. of. success)/(number.of.possible. outcome)

If 3 officers are removed, then the number of non officer members which is the possible outcome = 35 -3 = 32 members

James is one person out of 32 members, thus the probability that James will be chosen = 1/32
