Question 522339
The numbers from 1 to 20 are placed in a hat. What is the probability that a random;y selected number will be greater than 8?
<pre>
8 of the 20 numbers are NOT greater than 8, so the other 20-8 or 12 numbers
are greater than 8.  

Desired probability = 12 out of 20 = {{{12/20}}} which reduces to {{{3/5}}}.
