There are m boys and 12 girls in a class. What is the probability of selecting at random a girl from the class?
A
\(\frac{m}{12}\)
B
\(\frac{12}{m}\)
C
\(\frac{12}{m+12}\)
D
\(\frac{12}{m-12}\)
correct option: c
Prob. (a girl) \(=\frac{Number\hspace{1mm} of\hspace{1mm} girls}{Number \hspace{1mm} of \hspace{1mm} boys \hspace{1mm} and \hspace{1mm} girls\hspace{1mm} in \hspace{1mm} class}\
= \frac{12}{m+12}\)
= \frac{12}{m+12}\)
