1/6 i believe since there are 2 rep from that region and there are 12 in total

Answer:

The answer is \(\frac{1}{6}\)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the probability, we have to determine the total amount of representatives and then the total amount of representatives from west region.

In probability, there is a formula called "Classical probability", that is:

Let A=Numbers of favorable outcomes

     B=Total number of possible outcomes

Probability of an event=\(\frac{A}{B}\)

So, the representatives of each region are:

North=1

South=4

Central=2

East=3

West=2

Total representatives=12

Therefore, the probability of a chosen representative from west region is:

\(P=\frac{2}{12}=\frac{1}{6}\)
