<PRE><B>Question 756378</B>
In a class of 30 students, 16 have surnames beginning with A and 9 have surnames beginning with O. If a student is chosen at random, calculate the probability that a student&#39;s surname begins with O
---------------------
# of ways to succeed: 9

# of possible outcomes: 30
-------
P(begin with O) = 9/30 = 3/10
