Solution

The correct option is C 513
Given:–––––––
Number of male fish in the fish tank =5
Number of female fish in the fish tank =8

Need to Find:––––––––––––––––
Probability of fish taken out from the fish tank is a male

Total number of fish in the fish tank
= Number of male fish + Number of female fish
=5+8
=13

Total number of possible outcomes =13

Number of favorable outcomes
= Number of male fish
=5

P(a male fish)=Number of favorable outcomesTotal number of possible outcomes

P(a male fish)=513

Hence, probability of fish taken out from the fish tank is a male
is 513.

Therefore, option (c.) is the correct choice.
