Ayden Vazquez · Answer 1

Answer: There is a 58.3% chance that she is from Mr. Abel's class.

Given the fact that we know the person chosen is a girl, the chance is out of 24 because 10 + 14 = 24.

In Mr. Abel's class, there are 14 girls.

So the probability that a girl is from Mr. Abel's class is 14/24 or 58.3%.
