Any 2 of 12 is (12 x 11)/2 = 66. Any 2 from 6 is (6 x 5)/2 = 15 so the probability is 15 out of 66 ie 0.227 or 22.7%

What is the probability you will select a girl from the class if you have 17 girls and 10 boys?

Oh, dude, let me break it down for you. So, if you have 17 girls and 10 boys in the class, the probability of selecting a girl is like the number of girls divided by the total number of students. So, it's 17 girls out of 27 students, which simplifies to about 63%. Cool, right?


How many ways can a group of 3 students be chosen from a class of 30 students?

Well, honey, there are 30 students in the class, and you want to choose a group of 3. So, you're looking at a classic combination situation. The formula for combinations is nCr = n! / r!(n-r)!, so in this case, it's 30C3 = 30! / 3!(30-3)! = 4060 ways to choose those 3 lucky students. It's like picking the winning lottery numbers, but with fewer tears and more math.


There are 10 students receiving honors credit in a class. This number is exactly 20 percent of the total number of students in the class. How many students are in the class?

Here are 10 students getting honors credits in a class, and they make up 20% of the class. How do we find the number of students in the class? Let's look. We have a class, and 20% of the class are getting honors credit, and that turns out to be 10 students. Now we can generate a formula that we can use to discover our answer. Let's assign letters to the things we know or are finding out. Nclass = number of students in the class. Nhonors = number of honors students in the class. And Nhonors = 10 students. Nclass x 20% = 10 students 20% = 20/100ths (because % = hundredths) or 0.20 or just 0.2 for simplicity. Nclass x .2 = 10 students Now divide both sides by .2 so the .2 will cancel out (or drop out) on the left side of the equation and we'll have isolated the answer we are looking for, which is Nclass. Nclass = 10 students divided by .2 Nclass = 10/.2 students = 50 students There are 50 students in the class. As .2 equals 2/10 or 1/5, we can find 1/5th of 50 just by thinking about it to check our work. And 1/5th of 50 equals 10, which is in agreement with the information we were given in the problem.

A nursing class has 13 women and 18 men If a student is chosen randomly to be the team leader what is the probability the student is a woman?

The probability that a randomly chosen student is a woman can be calculated by dividing the number of women by the total number of students in the class. In this case, there are 13 women and 31 total students, so the probability is 13/31, which simplifies to approximately 0.419 or 41.9%.
