Question

48% of student in a school are girls. a student is picked at random.what is the probability that a boy is picked​

Answer 1

0.52

Explanation:

From the above question:

48% of students in a school are girls.

Let the total percentage of students = 100%

The percentage representing boys = 100% - 48% = 52%

Hence, the probability that a boy is picked​ = P(boy) = Percentage of boys/ Total percentage

P(boy) = 52%/100%

= 0.52/1

= 0.52

Therefore, the probability that a boy is picked is 0.52
