Ben chooses a member from the club at random.

Find the probability that Ben chooses a member who prefer apples.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Ben has a 4/15​ chance of choosing a member who prefers apples.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, the event A is choosing a member who prefers apples. The number of ways A can happen is 8, since there are 8 members who prefer apples. The total number of possible outcomes is 30, since there are 30 members in the club. Therefore, the probability of choosing a member who prefers apples is:

P(A)=8/30=4/15

This means that Ben has a 4/15​ chance of choosing a member who prefers apples.
