Question

A teacher randomly selects one student from a group of students where 12 are wearing a black shirt, 8 are wearing a red shirt, and 12 are wearing a blue shirt.

What is the probability that the selected student is wearing a blue shirt?

Enter your answer as a fraction, in simplified form, in the box.

Answer 1

probability=number of specific outcomes/number of possible outcomes...

P(B)=B/T=12/(12+12+8)

P(B)=12/32

P(B)=3/8

Answer 2

Using the probability concept, it is found that:

There is a $\frac{3}{8}$ probability that the selected student is wearing a blue shirt.

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this problem, there are 12 + 8 + 12 = 32 students, of which 12 are wearing a blue shirt.

Hence, there is:

A $\frac{12}{32} = \frac{3}{8}$ probability that the selected student is wearing a blue shirt.
