Answers
Answer:
2/5 is the ans
Step-by-step explanation:
given: 60 boys n 40 girls..,
ttl students p(n)=100
∴proability =p(g)/p(n)
=>40/100=2/5
Solution:-
Probability = It is define as the Ratio of the Observation to the Sum of the total Observations.
Here,
There are 60 boys and 40 girls in a Class.
=) Total Number of Students = 100
=) Total Outcome = 100.
To Find:-
The proability that student is a girl.
There are 40 girls and anyone can from these 60 girls can be selected.
=) Number of Girls = 40
=) Favourable Outcome = 40.
Hence,
Probability that the selected Student is a Girl = Favourable Outcome/ Total Outcome
=) Probability that the selected Student is a Girl = 40/100
=) Probability that the selected Student is a Girl = 2/5
Hence,
Probability that the selected Student is a Girl is 2/5.
