\bold{\underline{Explanation-}}

Explanation−

According to the question we know that the shopkeeper takes out one fish at random from a tank containing 5 male fish and 8 female fish

Now,

First we need to find the number of total fish

so,

total number of fish = number of male fish and number of female fish

we know that number of male fish = 5

and, the number of female fish = 8

then,

the total number of fish = 5 + 8 => 13

so, the total number of fish = 13

Now,

we know that formula probability of getting a male fish is = number of favorable outcome / number of total possible outcomes

=> 5 /13

Hence, The probability of getting a male fish is 5/13

Answer 2

Solution :-

No. of male fish in the tank = 5

No. of female fish in the tank = 8

Total number of fish in the tank = 5 + 8

= 13

Favourable number events = 5

Probability of taking out a male fish = 5 / 13
