Question

of the 8 people attending a seminar, 4 have blond hair. what is the probability that a randomly selected person will have blond hair? write your answer as a fraction or whole number. p(blond) =

Explanation:

Step1: Recall probability formula

The probability formula is $P(A)=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$.

Step2: Identify values

The number of favorable outcomes (people with blond hair) is 4, and the total number of outcomes (total people) is 8.

Step3: Calculate probability

$P(\text{blond})=\frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2}$

Answer:

$\frac{1}{2}$
