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) =

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the probability formula

Probability \( P(A)=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}} \)
Here, the event \( A \) is choosing a singer. The number of favorable outcomes (number of singers) is \( 35 \), and the total number of outcomes (total number of musicians) is \( 82 \).

Step2: Substitute values into the formula

\( P(\text{singer})=\frac{35}{82} \)

Answer:

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