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.
