To find the probability of randomly selecting a "second grader that thinks sharks are scary", we need to find the number of second graders who think sharks are scary out of the total number of students.
From the table:
Number of second graders who think sharks are scary = 23
Total number of students = 100
Probability = (Number of second graders who think sharks are scary) / (Total number of students) = 23 / 100 = 0.23
Converting to a percentage:
0.23 * 100% = 23%
Therefore, the probability of randomly selecting a "second grader that thinks sharks are scary" is 23%.
