To find the probability that an eighth-grade student will NOT be selected, we first need to determine the total number of students in the bag and the number of eighth-grade students.
There are a total of 9 students in the bag, and out of those, 3 are eighth graders (Mitara, Saree, and Michael).
To calculate the probability of not selecting an eighth-grade student, we need to find the number of non-eighth graders (9 - 3 = 6) and divide that by the total number of students (9).
Therefore, the probability of not selecting an eighth-grade student is 6/9 or 2/3, which is equal to 66.67%.
Mrs. Baker's student write word problems each week, and she selects one student's word problem to display on a bulletin board each week. Each student's name is placed in a bag from which Mrs. Baker draws a name. What is the probability that an eighth grade student will NOT be selected? (2 points)
