Complete question:
The 35-member history Club is meeting to choose a student government representative. The members decide that the representative, who will be chosen at random, cannot be any of the 3 officers of the club. What is the probability that James, who is a member of the club but not an officer, will be chosen?
Answer:
The probability that James will be chosen is 1/32
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]Probability =\frac{number. of. success}{number.of.possible. outcome}[/tex]
If 3 officers are removed, then the number of non officer members which is the possible outcome = 35 -3 = 32 members
James is one person out of 32 members, thus the probability that James will be chosen = 1/32
