What is probability?

The probability is defined as the chances of happening of any random event. or the possibility of happening of any event is called as the probability.

Here it is given that:-

There are four boys and eight girls in a class.

So the sample variable will be:-

P(S)= [4,8] =12

Now the probability of choosing either a girl or boy will be calculated as:-

P(A)= 1/12+1/12

P(A)=2/12

P(A)=1/6

Hence the probability of asking the answer by either boy or girl will be 1/6.
