Okay, I just want to make sure I'm doing this correctly. Would I put 80 over the total (400) and multiply that by 2?

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

that's not an option... what did I do wrong?
OpenStudy (rational):
the probability is just about drawing a blazers student in the "second try"
OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):
ohhh, so it's just 1/5?
OpenStudy (rational):
in the second try also
80 blazers students
and 400 total students
so the probability is simply 80/400
OpenStudy (rational):
Yes!

wait, but it asked the prob the principal will draw ANOTHER student...
OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):
in that, wouldn't there be the possibility that the same student would be drawn?
OpenStudy (rational):
yes "another blazers student"
he can be same as the previous one
OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):
ohhhh okay.
OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):
