Question

Find the probability. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth, if needed.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of students = 20

Number of students who have brown hair = 12

Number of students who have blonde hair = 4

Number of students who have red hair = 3

Number of students who have black hair = 1

To find:

Probability of randomly selecting a blonde-haired student from the classroom.

Solution:

Probability refers to chances of occurring of some event.

Probability = Number of favourable outcomes/ Total number of outcomes

Number of favourable outcomes ( Number of students who have blonde hair ) = 4

Total number of outcomes = 20

So,

Probability of randomly selecting a blonde haired student from the classroom = $\frac{4}{20}=\frac{1}{5}=0.2$
