Answer:
The probability that a student earns a grade of A is 1/7.
Let E be an event and S be the sample space. The probability of E, denoted by P(E) could be computed as:
P(E) = n(E) / n(S)
As the total number of students = n(S) = 35
Students getting the grade A = n(E) = 5
So, the probability that a student earns a grade of A:
P(E) = n(E) / n(S)
= 5/35
= 1/7
Hence, the probability that a student earns a grade of A is 1/7.
