What is the probability of a number from

1-12 being P(a factor of 12)?
12.5%
25%
50%
62.5%

The chance probability of any number from 1-12 is 1/12 = 8.3%

compute the experimental probability that the results is factor of 12

To determine the probability of a number from 1-12 being a factor of 12, we need to consider the total number of factors of 12 and the total number of possible outcomes (numbers from 1-12).

In this case, the number 12 has factors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12, totaling 6 factors.

Since we are considering numbers from 1-12, there are a total of 12 possible outcomes.

To calculate the probability, divide the number of favorable outcomes (numbers that are factors of 12) by the total number of possible outcomes.

Therefore, the probability would be calculated as follows:
P(a factor of 12) = (Number of factors of 12 / Total number of possible outcomes) * 100

P(a factor of 12) = (6/12) * 100 = 50%

Therefore, the correct answer is 50%.
