Select one:

1/13
50/13
13/50

Answer 1

Answer: 13/50

Explanation:

Angelica has to write a history paper on the founding of the 50

United States. Since Angelica is the first person to choose, the probability of choosing one of the first 13 States will be the 13 states divided by the total 50 states. This can be written as:

Probability= 13/50

The probability is therefore 13/50
