Question

If the class contains 11 boys and 14 girls, what is the probability of calling on a girl?

Answer 1

Answer: P (girl) = 14 / 25

Concept:

Here, we need to know the idea of probability.  

Probability is a measure of the likelihood of an event to occur.  

If you are still confused, please refer to the attachment below for a graphical explanation.

Solve:

Number of boys = 11

Number of girls = 14

Total number of people = 11 + 14 = 25

P (girl) = Favorable / Total (refer to the attachment)

P (girl) = 14 / 25

Hope this helps!! :)
