Question

On the last day of a Shakespeare class, an English teacher asked her students which play they liked the best. She made a table of the results.

Hamlet 11
Macbeth 4
Twelfth Night 1
Romeo and Juliet 6
What is the probability that a randomly selected Shakespeare student likes Hamlet best?
Write your answer as a fraction or whole number.

Answer 1

The total number of students is 11+4+1+6= 22
11 like Hamlet the best, so 11/22 students like Hamlet the best.

Simplify 11/22 to 1/2

Answer: 1/2 (i think)
