Question

Point(s) possible

Answer 1

The probability that the student selected is 5/8.

According to the question,

We have the following information:

A class consists of 30 women and 18 men.

Now, total students in the class = Number of women + number of men

Total students = 30+18

Total students = 48

Now, the probability that the student is a woman:

Probability of an event = Number of women/total number of students

30/48

(More to know: probability of an event can not be greater than 1.)

Now, converting this into the simplest form by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 6:

5/8

Hence, the probability that the student selected is 5/8.
