Question

In a school, only 3 out of 5 students can participate in a competition. What is the probability of the students who do not make it to the competition?

• A. 0.65
• B. 0.4
• C. 0.45
• D. 0.6

Answer 1

The correct option is B

0.4

Given, 3 out of 5 students can participate in a competition, i.e. 2 out of 5 students cannot participate in a competition.
Hence, the probability of students who do not make it to competition $=\frac{2}{5}=0.4$.
