A hospital nursery has 3 boys and some girls. A child was selected at random what is the probability that the child is a boy?
To find the probability that the child is a boy, we need to know the total number of children in the hospital nursery and the number of boys.
Given that the hospital nursery has 3 boys and an unspecified number of girls, we can determine the probability by dividing the number of boys by the total number of children.
Let's say that the total number of children in the nursery is represented by the variable 'T' and the number of boys is represented by the variable 'B'. Since we know that there are 3 boys, we can write the equation B = 3.
However, we do not know the value of 'T' or the number of girls, so we cannot determine the exact probability without that information.
If you have the total number of children or the number of girls in the hospital nursery, you can provide that information, and I will be able to calculate the probability of randomly selecting a boy.
