Question

If there are 23 students in your class, and your teacher is pulling random names from a hat, what is the probability that your name will be pulled on the third pull?
3/21
3/23
1/23
1/21

Answer 1

Answer:

1/21

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are the third one to be picked, then you subtract 3 students from the total number of students. That would be 21. The possibliity that you get picked out of 21 students is 1 out of 21, so 1/21

Answer 2

If the teacher isn't putting the names back in the hat then it would be 1/21 if she is then 1/23
