Correct Option: C
Total number of pupils = 6 + 27 + 7 = 40
Number of pupils that are at least 11 years old = 27 + 7
= 34
therefore prob. (at least 11 years) = \(\frac{34}{17}\)
= \(\frac{17}{20}\)
Number of pupils that are at least 11 years old = 27 + 7
= 34
therefore prob. (at least 11 years) = \(\frac{34}{17}\)
= \(\frac{17}{20}\)
