Question

You put the names of all the students in your class in a paper bag. There are 14 boys and 16 girls. If you draw a name at random, what is P(boy’s name)?

Answer 1

14 boys and 16 girls....total of 30 students

probability of picking a boy : 14/30 reduces to 7/15 or 46.7%

Answer 2

P(boy's name) = 16/30 = 0.53 (the three's continuous) = 53.3%
