A Numeracy 2 resit group consists of 22 male and 18 female students. What is the probability of their tutor picking at random that a female will be selected?

probability is >= 0 and <= 1

1.02 is therefore not possible.

a probability of 101% is the same as a probability of 1.01.

101% is therefore also not possible.

1/4 is equal to .25 and is possible.

.005 is also possible because it is >= 0 and<= 1.
