If a person is randomly selected determine the following probability:P(Female or Suwanee).SnellvilleSuwaneeTotalFemaleValeTotal102030StoneMountain121426S16243050803023B.c.D. TOA.8040

Answer 1

The total number of students are T = 80.

Determine the number of students who are Female od Suwanee.

$10+12+8+16=46$

The probability for slected person is Student or Suwanee is,

$\begin{gathered} P\text{ (Female or Suwanee)=}\frac{46}{80} \\ =\frac{23\cdot2}{40\cdot2} \\ =\frac{23}{40} \end{gathered}$

So answer is 23/40.

Option A is correct.
