Answers

  1. The probability is 50 percent.
    what is probability?
    • The likelihood that a specific occurrence will occur  the proportion of the total number of available outcomes to the number of possibilities in a comprehensive set of equally probable options that result in a certain event.
    • A field of mathematics that focuses on the investigation of probability.
    Given that,
    Class has 19 boys and 20 girls , out of which five students are to be chosen for presentation.
    Sets are:
    (0 Boy, 5 Girls)
    (1 Boy, 4 Girls)
    (2 Boys, 3 Girls)
    (3 Boys, 2 Girls)
    (4 Boys, 1 Girl)
    (5 Boys, 0 girl)
    Total sample size =6
    Probability that more boys than girls are chosen = No. of times boys are more/ Total sample size.
    3/6
    = 0.5
    That is 50 percent.
