Team Number of students
Acers 78
Blazers 80
Outbacks 83
Quasars 77
Voyagers 82
Total 400
The principal uses a computer to randomly select the name of a student from all the students in the school. With the computer program, it is possible to draw the name of the same student twice. If the principal selects the name of a student from the Acers on the first try, what is the probability she will draw the name of another student from the Acers on the second try?

1 over 78

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The probability of drawing a student from the Acers team on the second try, given that a student from the same team was drawn on the first try, is 1 over 78.

This is because there are 78 students in the Acers team, and the computer program allows for the same student to be drawn twice, so the total number of students for the second draw is still 78.

Therefore, the probability is 1/78.
