Respuesta :
There are 20 students in total.
12 of them are female, meaning 8 of them are male.
8/20 students are male.
Simplify this: 2/5
Because both 8 and 20 are divisible by 4.
2/5 is 40%
There is a 40% of randomly selecting a male student.
The probability of randomly selecting a male student from the class is 0.4 or 40%.
Given
A math class has 12 female students.
Out of a total of 20 students in class.
Probability;
The probability is defined as the ratio of the total number of girls students and the total number of students.
There are 12 female students.
Then,
The number of male students = 20 - 12 =8
Therefore,
The probability of randomly selecting a male student from the class is;
[tex]\rm Probability = \dfrac{Total \ number \ of \ boys}{Total \ number \ of \ students}\\\\Probability = \dfrac{8}{20}\\\\ \text{To convert in percentage multiply by 100}\\\\Probability = \dfrac{8}{20}\times 100\\\\Probability = 8 \times 5\\\\Probability = 40 \ percent[/tex]
Hence, the probability of randomly selecting a male student from the class is 0.4 or 40%.
