. In a class of 40 students, 8 are in the drama club and 12 are in the art club. If a student is selected at random, what is the probability that the selected student is in the drama club?

Respuesta :

Answer:

so the probability of selected student is in the drama club is 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

total students = 40

drama club= 8

art club=  12

we have to find probability of drama club

P (drama) = favorable outcome / total outcome

                 =   8 / 40

                = 1/ 5

so the probability of selected student is in the drama club is 1/5
