You put the names of all the students in your class in a paper bag. There are 14 boys and 20 girls. If you draw a name at random, what is P(boy’s name)?
A.7/17
B.10/17
C.10/7
D.7/10
The probability of drawing a boy's name is the number of boys divided by the total number of students.
P(boy's name) = Number of boys / Total number of students
P(boy's name) = 14 / (14 + 20)
P(boy's name) = 14 / 34
P(boy's name) = 7 / 17
Therefore, the correct answer is A. 7/17.
