Answer: P(S-name U Boy) = [tex]\dfrac58[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: A club consists of 5 girls (Kirsten, Sarah, Suzie, Monica, and Katie) and 3 boys (Kevin, Steve and Samuel)
To find : P(S-name U Boy) i.e. Probability of selecting a person whose name starting with S or boy.
n(S-name U Boy) = 5 {2 girls (Sarah, Suzie), 3 boys( Kevin, Steve and Samuel )}
Now, P(S-name U Boy) = [tex]=\dfrac{\text{n(S-nam e} \cup\text{ Boy}}{\text{Total persons in the club}}[/tex]
[tex]=\dfrac{5}{5+3}\\\\=\dfrac{5}{8}[/tex]
Hence, P(S-name U Boy) = [tex]\dfrac58[/tex]
