Question

In a school, only 2 out of 5 students can participate in a quiz. What is the chance that a student picked at random makes it to the competition?

(a) 20% (b) 40% (c) 50% (d) 30%

Answer 1

(b) 40%

From the question it is given that, in a school, only 2 out of 5 students can participate in a quiz.

So, the chance that a student picked at random = 2/5

Then percentage = 2/5 × 100

= 0.4 × 100

= 40 %
