Answer:

The probability of choosing a girl is 1/2.

The probability of choosing an A student who is a BOY is 5/28.

1/2 = 14/28, and 14/28 + 5/28 = 19/28. This can be simplified to 0.68

Thus, the answer is B. 0.68

The required probability of choosing a girl or an A student is 0.82. Option A   is correct.

Given that,
In a math class of 28 students, 14 boys and 14 are girls. On a unit test, 5 boys and 9 girls made an A grade.
A student is chosen at random from the class. What is the probability of choosing a girl or an A student is to be determined.

What is probability?

Probability can be defined as the ratio of favorable outcomes to the total number of events.


Total sample space = 28
Number of girls = 14
Number of boys = 14
Number of girls A grade student  = 9

probability of a girl = 14/28 = 0.5
probability of A grader girl  = 9 / 28 = 0.32
Now the probability of choosing a girl or an A grader girl student,
= 0.32 + 0.5
= 0.82

Thus, the required probability of choosing a girl or an A student is 0.82. Option A  is correct.
