Sagot :

The probability will be 1/6. 66.6666%. 0.6666666666666666666666666666666666... and on.

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

First lets find the denominator. 4+8=12

So the denominator will be 12.

Now for the numerator ...

There are 8 boys running and it is possible for two boys to be elected.

So lets use the 8 as our numerator.

Here is our probability of there being two boys elected.

8/12

But we can simplify it to 4/6 and again to 2/3
