Question

Anne is one of 24 students in her class. One student will be selected for the student senate. Assuming all students have an equal chance of being selected, what is the probability that she will be chosen? You can set students as numbers to avoid multiple names.

Answer 1

1/24 because she is 1 in 24 students of equal probability

Answer 2

To say that Anne has an equal chance to be selected for senate as her 23 classmates means that she has a 1/24 chance of getting the position.

The probability is 1/24, or 4.167%.
