To find the probability the winner is a 7th grader in Homeroom C, we need to look at the total number of students who participated and the number of 7th graders in Homeroom C who participated.
From the table provided in the question, we know:
- 79 students in the 7th grade participated.
- 25 students in Homeroom C participated.
So, the probability that the winner is a 7th grader in Homeroom C is:
Number of 7th graders in Homeroom C who participated / Total number of students who participated
= 25 / 79
= 7 over 25
Therefore, the probability the winner is a 7th grader in Homeroom C is 7 over 25.
