Question

N a class of 26 learners, 4 of the 12 females wear glasses and 3 males wear glasses.

What is the probability of randomly choosing a male who does not wear glasses?

Answer 1

In a fraction I would say it is 11/26 and percentage is about 42.3%

Explanation:

Because there is a total of 26 students in the class and the problem lets you know that there are 12 females, it is safe to subtract 12 from 26. This gives you 14. Then you can subtract 3 from 14 because that is the number of boys that DO wear glasses and we want to know the probability of choosing a male who does NOT wear glasses. This will lead you to 11. Therefore, the probability is 11/26. In percentage that would be 42.3%.
