Dale conducted a survey of the students in his classes to observe the distribution of eye color. The results are summarized as follows:

Eye color number of students
blue: 20
brown: 12
green: 10
amber: 8
hazel: 6
grey: 4

If a student is randomly chosen from this group, what is the chance of selecting a student blue eyes? write your answer in the simplest form as a fraction

1 answer

The total number of students surveyed is: 20 + 12 + 10 + 8 + 6 + 4 = 60

The number of students with blue eyes is 20.

Therefore, the probability of selecting a student with blue eyes is:
20/60 = 1/3

So, the chance of selecting a student with blue eyes is 1/3.
