उत्तर

Total number of students = 35

Number of boys = 20

Number of girls = 15

Let E1 be the event that the chosen student is a boy.

∴ P(choosing a boy) = P(E1) = `("Number of outcomes favourable to ""E"_1)/ "Number of all possible outcome" = 20/35 = 4/7`

Thus, the probability that the chosen student is a boy is `4/7`
