Answer:

[tex]P(Age\ 12) = \frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

        Age 11    Age 12    Total  

Girls   3             5              8

Boys   1             3             4

Required

[tex]P(Age\ 12)[/tex]

The number of aged 12 children is:

[tex]Age\ 12 = 5 + 3[/tex]

[tex]Age\ 12 = 8[/tex]

The total number of children is:

[tex]Total=8+4[/tex]

[tex]Total = 12[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]P(Age\ 12) = \frac{Age\ 12}{Total}[/tex]

[tex]P(Age\ 12) = \frac{8}{12}[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]P(Age\ 12) = \frac{2}{3}[/tex]
