To determine the probability that an eighth grade student will NOT be selected, we first need to count the total number of students and the number of eighth grade students.
There are a total of 10 students: 3 in 6th grade, 3 in 7th grade, and 4 in 8th grade.
The probability of selecting an eighth grade student is the number of eighth grade students divided by the total number of students, which is 4/10 or 2/5.
Therefore, the probability of NOT selecting an eighth grade student is 1 - 2/5 = 3/5 or 60%.
In other words, there is a 60% probability that an eighth grade student will NOT be selected.
