There are 12 boys and 13 girls in a class. If the teacher randomly chooses a student's name out of a hat, what is the probability it will be a girl?

Verified Answer :

The probability of getting a girl's name is \(52%\) percent.

Probability

Probability deals with the occurence of a random event and  is calculated by dividing the total number of events by the total number of possible outcomes.

How to find the probability of getting a girl's name from the mixed students?

First, find the possible outcomes.

In the class, there are \(12\) boys and \(13\) girls.

The teacher randomly chooses a student's name out of a hat.

So, the possible outcomes \(=(12+13)=25\)

Let, \(S\) be the sample space.

Then, \(n(S)=25\)

Let, \(E=\)the event of getting a girl's name

Then, \(n(E)=13\)

Let, \(P\) be the probability of \(E\).

Then, \(P(E)=\frac{n(E)}{n(S)}=\frac{13}{25}=52\) percent.

Hence, the probability of getting a girl's name is \(52\) percent.
