There is a 48% chance of a boy's name being drawn at random.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you take the 15/31 (the amount of boys over the amount of students in the class) and make a proportion with 100 as the denominator, that can be easily converted into a percentage. And voilà, you have 48/100, which equals 48%!
