Savannah runs a day care center. Of the 12 children at the day care center, 3 of them are
five-year-olds.
What is the probability that a randomly selected child will be a five-year-old?
Write your answer as a fraction or whole number.
3 out of 12 children at the day care center are 5-year-olds. So, the probability of a randomly selected child being a five-year old is [tex]\frac{3}{12}[/tex], or [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex].
