Correct Question:

He counts 18 female students, 16 male students, and 6 teachers. There are

720 people in the auditorium. Consider the probability of selecting one person

at random from the auditorium.

Which of these statements are true?

Choose all that apply.

A:  The probability of selecting a teacher is 6%.

B : The probability of selecting a student is 85%.

C : The probability of selecting a male student is 32%.

D : The probability of selecting a female student is 45%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Option B  and D are correct because

The total number of people in one cross section = 18 + 16 + 6 = 40.

A = The probability of selecting a teacher is = (6/40)x100 = 15 % not equal to 6 %

B = The probability of selecting a male student is = (34/40)x100 = 85%

C = The probability of selecting a male student is = (16/40)x100 = 40 % not equal to 32 %

D : The probability of selecting a female student is = (18/40)x100= 45%
