Question

82 young musicians attended a jazz camp. 35 of them were singers. what is the probability that a randomly chosen musician is a singer? write your answer as a fraction or whole number. p(singer) = \boxed{}

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Probability Formula

The probability of an event is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes. So, \( P(\text{singer})=\frac{\text{Number of singers}}{\text{Total number of musicians}} \).

Step2: Identify Values

Number of singers is 35, total number of musicians is 82.

Step3: Calculate Probability

Substitute the values into the formula: \( P(\text{singer}) = \frac{35}{82} \).

Answer:

\(\frac{35}{82}\)
