Step-by-step explanation:

there might just be a probability because

4 guys might be selected it says equally 12:4=3 at least 3 guys will be selected

Poppy · Answer 2

There are 4 boys out of the 12, so the fraction would be 4/12. This simplifies to 1/3. So there is a 1/3 possibility that a boy will be selected.
