To find the probability that an eighth grade student will NOT be selected, we need to first determine how many students are in the eighth grade. There are 5 eighth grade students out of a total of 9 students.
Therefore, the probability that an eighth grade student will NOT be selected is calculated as follows:
Number of non-eighth grade students / Total number of students = 4/9
So, the probability that an eighth grade student will NOT be selected is 4/9 or 44.44%.
Mrs. Baker’s students 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?
