Question:
If we have 15 boys and 5 girls in a class which carries a higher probability? Getting a copy belonging to a boy or a girl. Can you give it a value?
Solution:
Number of boys in the class $=15$
Number of girls in the class $=5$
Total number of students in the class $=15+5=20$
$\therefore$ Number of possible outcomes $=20$
Since the number of boys is more than the number of girls, boys will have a higher probability.
Hence, there is the higher probability of getting a copy belonging to a boy.
Let $A$ be the event of getting a boy's copy and $B$ be the event of getting a girl's copy.
$\therefore \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A})=\frac{15}{20}=\frac{3}{4}$
And, $\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{B})=\frac{5}{20}=\frac{1}{4}$
