If there are 12 boys and 6 girls, the total number of students would be 18. You are looking for the probability of selecting a girl from the class: 6/18 Just reduce the fraction to its lowest form 6/18 = 2/6 = 1/3 Your answer would be 1/3.
Without knowing the data which is being sampled, it is impossible to answer this other than by saying that the probability is between 0 and 1 inclusive. Consider a company. If you sample the annual pay of the employees, any mean will be greater than 18 as everyone will be taking home more than £18 per year, so the probability is 1. Consider a school. If you sample the lengths of feet of the pupils, any mean will be less than 18 as all the feet are less than 18 inches long, so the probability is 0.
