Probability of girls

Question

There are 14 boys and 15 girls in Adrian's class. One person is chosen at random to hand out books to the rest of the class

 

A) What is the probability that the person chosen to hand out books is a girl?

 

B) How does the probability that a girl is chosen compare to the probability that the person chosen is  Adrian?

Answer 1

There are 15 girls out of 29 people, so P(girl) = 15/29 ~ 0.5172 

 

Adrian is 1 person out of 29 people, so P(Adrian) = 1/29 ~ 0.0344 

 

The probability that a girl is chosen is 15 times greater than the probability that Adrian is chosen
