Answer

$\frac{18}{25}$

Work Step by Step

There are $18$ female students and $7$ male students. This means that the total number of students is: $18+7$ $=25$ students If the teacher picks a student at random, we need to find the probability that the student will be female. We know that there are $18$ female students out of the $25$ total students. We can then use the formula $P=\frac{n}{s}$ to calculate the probability. $n$ will be $18$ and $s$ will be $25$. $P=\frac{n}{s}$ $P=\frac{18}{25}$
