In his class a person conducted a survey to observe the distribution of eye color. The results are summarized as follows there were 20 students with blue eyes, 12 students with brown eyes, 10 students with green eyes, eight students with Amber eyes, six students with Hazel eyes, and four students with gray eyes If a student is randomly chosen from this group what is the chance of selecting a student with blue eyes write your answer in the simplest form of a fraction

1 answer

To find the chance of selecting a student with blue eyes, we first need to determine the total number of students in the class.

Total number of students = 20 (blue eyes) + 12 (brown eyes) + 10 (green eyes) + 8 (Amber eyes) + 6 (Hazel eyes) + 4 (gray eyes) = 60 students

Now, the probability of selecting a student with blue eyes is the number of students with blue eyes divided by the total number of students:

Probability = number of students with blue eyes / total number of students
Probability = 20 / 60
Probability = 1/3

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