The probability that the next person will be assigned an orchestra seats is 2/5.

<h3>What is Probability?</h3>

Probability can be defined as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes of an event.

Here, Available Orchestra seats = 8

Balcony seats = 12

Total available seats = 12 + 8 = 20

Probability = Favorable Outcome / Total Outcome

Probability of getting orchestra ticket = 8/20

= 2/5

Thus, the probability that the next person will be assigned an orchestra seats is 2/5.
