Step-by-step explanation:

I think the question is:

Jake is going to call one person from his contacts at random. He has 30 total contacts. 16 of those contacts are people he met at school.

What is call a person from school?

If necessary, round your answer to 2 decimal places.

The probability of choosing a contact from school is 16/30, which is equivalent to 8/15. That is about 0.53333, with a repeating decimal. So, if you round that to 2 decimal places, it is 0.53.
