Question

There are 17 flute players and 15 Clarinet players in Amy’s Music class, For each class the teacher randomly selects a student to hand out the music by Drawing a name from a jar. What is the probability that a player will be selected to hand out the music for the next class

Answer 1

for this case we have the folloeing information: In a class we have 17 flute players and 15 Clarinet Players for the Amy's Music Class.

The total of students are:

$\text{Total}=17+15=32$

And then if we need to select one player (student) the probability would be given by:

$p=\frac{possible}{total}=\frac{1}{32}$

And the best answer would be A) 1/32
