Responses
A. 2/5 B. 2/3 C. 1/2 D 1/8

Respuesta :

Answer: The correct answer is: A. 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the probability that the next person will be assigned to an aisle seat, we need to determine the total number of seats and the number of aisle seats available.

Total number of seats = 12 window seats + 8 aisle seats = 20 seats

Number of aisle seats = 8

The probability of the next person being assigned to an aisle seat is given by:

Probability = Number of aisle seats / Total number of seats

Probability = 8 / 20

Probability = 2/5
Therefore, the correct answer is:

A. 2/5
