Answer: [tex]\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The number of males = 4
The number of females = 8
Total group members = [tex]8+4=12[/tex]
Then, the probability of selecting a male from a group of 4 males and 8 females :-
[tex]\text{P(male)}=\dfrac{\text{Number of males}}{\text{Total members}}\\\\=\dfrac{4}{12}=\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex]
Hence, the probability of selecting a male from a group of 4 males and 8 females = [tex]\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex]
