Since the student from the Acers is already chosen on the first try, there are now only 399 students left in the school. Out of these 399 students, there are still 78 students in the Acers team.
Therefore, the probability of drawing another student from the Acers team on the second try is 78/399, or approximately 0.195 or 19.5%.
Stillwater Junior High divides students into teams taught by a group of teachers. The table shows the number of students in each team.
Team Number of Students
Acers 78
Blazers 80
Outbacks 83
Quasars 77
Voyagers 82
Total 400 The principal uses a computer to randomly select the name of a student from all the students in the school. With the computer program, it is possible to draw the name of the same student twice. If the principal selects the name of a student from the Acers on the first try, what is the probability she will draw the name of another student from the Acers on the second try?
