There are 21 girls and 33 boys in a classroom. I want to randomly select one student to become the class leader. If I want to find the probability that the selected student is a girl, the number of favourable outcomes is
Given,
Number of boys = 33
Number of girls = 21
Total number of outcomes= total number of students = 21 + 33 = 54
A girl being selected is a favourable outcome.
⇒ Number of favourable outcomes = 21
