What is the probability that the student will be female?

Question

Jane Austen College has 1,020 males & 1,180 female students. What is the probability that the student selected at random will be female?

Answer 1

Total number of students = 1020 + 1180 = 2200

Probability = Number of Favorable cases/Total number of students

We can probability of female student is being selected. Favorable cases would be the total number of females.

P(female is selected) = 1180/2200

I hope this helps.
