Answer:

Probability= 0.375

Explanation:

Probabilty is the chance or possiblity of an event occuring.

In an event we should have a total possible space and a specific expected outcome.

In this scenario we have 8 possible sample space and 3 expected outcome.

The probability of selecting the strongest= 3/8

Probability= 0.375
