A student is choosen at random. Fill in the boxes.
Total number of students = `square`
Let E be the event that the selected student is born in June.
Then,
Number of times event E occurs = `square`
So, P (selected student is born in June)
P(E) = `"Number of students born in June"/square`
= `square/square`
= `square`
