Solution

The correct option is B
0.3

Total number of students in a class = 50

Number of students who passed an examination = 35

$P (P) = \frac{Number of favourable outcomes}{Total number of possible outcomes}$

where P(P) = Probability that student passed the exam

= $\frac{Number of students passed examination}{Total number of students in a class}$

= $\frac{35}{50} = 0.7$ .
