To find the probability that an eighth-grade student will NOT be selected, we first need to determine how many eighth-grade students are in the bag. There are two eighth-grade students (Mitara and Michael).
Next, we need to find the total number of students in the bag. There are a total of 9 students in the bag.
So, the probability of an eighth-grade student NOT being selected is 7/9 or approximately 78%.
Therefore, the probability that an eighth-grade student will NOT be selected is 7/9 or 77.77% rounded to two decimal places.
Mrs. Baker's students write word problems each week, and she selects one student's word problem to display on a bulletin broad each week. Each student's name is placed in a bag from which Mrs. Baker draw a name. What is the probability that an eighth grade student will NOT be selected
