Mrs. Baker’s students write word problems each week, and she selects one student’s word problem to display on board each week. Each student’s name is placed in a bag from which Mrs Baker draws a name. What
is the probability that a student named Emma will have her word problem displayed on the board in a given week?
If there are 20 students in the class and each student has an equal chance of being selected, the probability of Emma being selected is 1/20 or 0.05 (5%).
