Gopi buys a fish from a shop for his aquarium. The shopkeeper takes out one fish at random from a tank containing 5 male fish and 8 female fish (see Figure). What is the probability that the fish taken out is a male fish?

Explanation

P(A)= (no of fav outcomes)/(no of all outcomes)

`= (n(A))/(n(B))`

`A-n(A)= 5`

`n(S)= 5+8=13`

`P(A)= (n(A))/(n(S))`

`=5/13`
