there are 14 boys and 8 girls. whats the probability of tyvone (1 student, boy) being chosen?

Question

tyvone is a student that is a boy and the question is what will be the probability of him being chosen

Answer 1

There are 14 boys and 8 girls, so the total number of students is 14 + 8 = 22. The probability of Tyvone being chosen is the number of ways Tyvone can be chosen divided by the total number of students.

Since there is only one Tyvone in the group of 14 boys, the number of ways he can be chosen is 1. Therefore, the probability of Tyvone being chosen is:

P(Tyvone) = number of ways Tyvone can be chosen / total number of students P(Tyvone) = 1 / 22

So the probability of Tyvone being chosen is 1/22, or approximately 0.045.
