explain in simple terms pls
also there are 3 7th grades 3 6th graders 3 eight graders
To calculate the probability that an eighth grade student will NOT be selected, we first need to determine the total number of students in the bag. Since there are 3 eighth grade students, 3 seventh grade students, and 3 sixth grade students, there are a total of 9 students in the bag.
To find the probability of not selecting an eighth grade student, we need to find the number of students that are not in eighth grade, which is 6 (3 seventh grade students + 3 sixth grade students).
Therefore, the probability of not selecting an eighth grade student is 6/9, which simplifies to 2/3 or 66.67%. This means there is a 66.67% chance that an eighth grade student will not be selected.
