Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The total number of students in the classroom is 14 + 4 = 18. Since there are only 4 girls in the classroom, the probability of selecting a girl is 4/18, which simplifies to 2/9. Therefore, B is the correct answer. The total number of students is 14 + 4 = 18. 
The number of girls is 4. 
The probability of selecting a girl is the number of girls (4) divided by the total number of students (18): 
4/18 = 2/9.
Therefore, the correct answer is B (2/9).
