B
The probability of selecting a student is 85%.
C
The probability of selecting a male student is 32%.
D
The probability of selecting a female student is 45%.

Answer 1

Answer:

From the given options,  Option B and D are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

In auditorium the following data gives the number of people in one cross section.

The number of female students = 18

The number of male students = 16

The number of teachers = 6

The total number of people in one cross section = 40.

(i) The probability of selecting a teacher = $(\frac{6}{40}) 100$ = 15%

Option A is wrong

(ii) The probability of selecting a student = $(\frac{34}{40}) 100$ = 85%

Option B is correct

(iii) The probablity of selecting a male student =  $(\frac{16}{40}) 100$ = 40%

Option C is wrong

(iv) The probablity of selecting a male student = $(\frac{18}{40}) 100$ = 45%

Option D is correct

Answer 2

Answer:

Teachers - 15% | Male students - 40% | Female students - 45%

Step-by-step explanation:

18+16+6=40

40x18=720

18/40=45

16/40=40

6/40=15

boom.
