Question

If the principal randomly selects one student to give the remote to the tv in the cafeteria to, what is the probability the student who received the remote is a boy given cartoons are on the tv?

Answer 1

6/30 or 1/5

Explanation:

From the table in the question, we get

Number of sports and girls = 6

Number of girls = 30

Total students = 50

Now, P (number of sports and girls) = 6/50

P (Number of girls) = 30/50

Therefore, P (sports/girl) = P (number of sports and girls)/ P (number of girls)

P (sports/girl) = (6/50)/ (30/50) = 6/30 or 1/5
