the table below shows the eye color of 30 students in Ms. Carroll's class. blue-4, green-5, brown-11, hazel-7, and other-3. what is the probability that one student, selected at random from the 30 surveyed will have hazel or green eyes.

green -5

hazel -7
total 12
probability: 12/30

Yes. It can be simplified to 2/5.

To find the probability of selecting a student with hazel or green eyes, we need to calculate the number of students with hazel or green eyes and then divide it by the total number of students.

From the given table, we know that there are 5 students with green eyes and 7 students with hazel eyes.

So, the total number of students with hazel or green eyes is 5 + 7 = 12.

The total number of students surveyed is 30.

Therefore, the probability of selecting a student with hazel or green eyes is 12/30 = 0.4, or 40%.

Hence, the probability that one student, selected at random from the 30 surveyed, will have hazel or green eyes is 0.4 or 40%.
