A hat contains the names of seven boys and three girls. If one name is drawn from the hat at random, what is the probability of drawing a boy's name?

P(Boy) = ?

P(Boy)
= Number of boys/Total number of people
= 7 / (7+3)
=7/10
= 0.7

Answer:
7/10 (7 over 10) or 0.7
There are 7 boys and 3 girls, combined they equal to 10. So, the probability of picking a boy is very likely to be chosen because the probability is over 50% (70%).

The probability of drawing a boy's name from the hat is 0.7, or 70%. This is calculated by dividing the number of boys, 7, by the total number of names, 10. Therefore, there is a 70% chance that a randomly drawn name will be a boy's name.
