If we have 15 boys and 5 girls in a class which carries a higher probability? Getting a copy belonging to a boy or a girl. Can you give it a value?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Probability of getting girl = no of girls/ total students `= 5/20= 1/4`.
Probability of getting boys = no of boys/ total students `= 15/20 = 3/4`.
Clearly `3/4` is greater than`1/4` so getting a boy has higher probability.
