Answer 1

$\huge\mathfrak\red{Answer:-}$

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

$\huge{\boxed{\boxed{\underline{\bigstar{\mathbb{\pink{ANSWER}}}}}}}$

Given :

Number of male fish = 5

Number of female fish = 8

To find :

Probability that the fish taken out is a male fish

Now :

Total number of fish = number of male fish and number of female fish

The total number of fish = 5 + 8 = 13

We know :

Probability of getting a event is = Number of favorable outcome / Number of total possible outcomes

= 5 /13

Hence :

The probability of getting a male fish is 5/13
