Question

Of the 12 people attending a lecture, 2 have brown eyes. What is the probability that a randomly selected person will have brown eyes?

Answer 1

1/6

Explanation:

Probability = number of ways it could happen / total number of outcomes

Since there are 2 people with brown eyes, so the numerator is 2.

Since there are 12 people in total, the denominator is 12.

Probability = 2/12 = 1/6
