Solution
Number
of
boys
in
the
class
=
15
Number
of
girls
in
the
class
=
5
Total
number
of
students
in
the
class
=
15
+
5
=
20
∴
Number
of
possible
outcomes
=
20
Since
the
number
of
boys
is
more
than
the
number
of
girls
,
boys
will
have
a
higher
probability
.
Hence
,
there
is
the
higher
probability
of
getting
a
copy
belonging
to
a
boy
.
Let
A
be
the
event
of
getting
a
boy
'
s
copy
and
B
be
the
event
of
getting
a
girl
'
s
copy
.
∴
P
A
=
15
20
=

And
,
P
B
=
