Question

You put the names of all the students in your class in a paper bag. There are 15 boys and 11 girls. If you draw a name at random, what is P(boy’s name)?

Answer 1

There are 15 boys and 15+11 = 26 total number of students. P(boy's name) = 15/26

Answer 2

Answer:

P(boy’s name) = 15/26

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 26 names in the bag.   We assume that any draw of a name from this bag is entirely random.  Then, the probability of drawing a boy's name is 15/26.
