Answer 1

Answer: Probability is 1/3

Step by step explanation:

The probability (P) of an event is:

$P=\frac{\text{Number of ways it can happen}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$

The probability that a randomly selected student has 0 siblings and is iiresponsible is:

$P=\frac{6}{6+3+4+5}=\frac{6}{18}=\frac{1}{3}$
