16 girls and 14 boys put their names in a bag. One name is drawn from the bag. What is the probability that a boy's name will be pulled

Respuesta :

Answer: [tex]\dfrac{7}{15}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

There are 16 girls and 14 boys

The favorable chances that a boy name comes up are 14

Probability is given by the ratio of favorable chances to the total chances

So, the probability that a boy's  name will be pulled is

[tex]\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{14}{14+16}\\\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{14}{30}\\\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{7}{15}[/tex]
