Best answer

Total numbers of boys in a class = 15

Number of girls in a class = 5

Total number of students = 15 + 5 = 20

Probability of getting a copy of a boy is = Total number of boys/Total number of students

= 15/20

= 3/4

Probability of getting a copy of a girl is = Total number of girls/Total number of students

= 5/20

= 1/4

∴ The probability of getting a copy of a boy is more.
