Question

Q. In a class there are 24 boys and 12 girls. If one child is absent, then the probability that it is a girl is

a) 5/12 b) 7/12
c) 5/7 d) 1/3

I also need good explanation

Answer 1

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of boys = 24

Number of girls = 12

Total Students = 24 + 12 = 36

Probablity that a girl is absent = 12/36 = 1/3

Answer 2

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of studies = 36

Number of girls = 12

Now, it is probable that any one of 12 girls get absent. So, favorable condition = 12

P = Favorable condition / Total number of outcomes

P = 12/36

P = 1/3
