in a class of 12 boys and 9 girls, the teacher selects three students at random to write problems on the board. what is the probability that all the students selected are boys? (round your answer to four decimal places.)



Answer :

in a class of 12 boys and 9 girls, the teacher selects three students at random to write problems on the board then the probability that all the students selected are boys is 0.165

given that a class consists of 12 boys and 9 girls. The teacher picks three students to present their work to the rest of the class  and says that the three students are being selected at random

Here selecting any 3 students from the group of total 21 students is combination because order does not matter.

Total no of ways of selecting any 3 from total 21 = 21C3 = 1330

No of ways of selecting only 3 boys = No of ways of selecting random 3 boys from total 12 boys

= 12C3 =220

the probability be that all three students

selected are boys=220/1330 = 0.165

Hence , the probability that all the students selected are boys is 0.165
