The answer is 2/5.

There is an 8/20 chance that the next person will receive a window seat. You simplify that probability to get your answer. 8/20 becomes 2/5. So the answer is 2/5.

The Probability that the next person will be assigned to an aisle seat is 2 / 5

what is probability?

Probability means possibility. It is simply how likely something is to happen.

Therefore,

p(A) = number of favourable outcome to A / total number of possible outocmes

Hence,

Probabability the next person will be assigned to an aisle seat = aisle seat / total number of seat

aisle seat  = 8

total number of seat  = 12 + 8 = 20

Probabability the next person will be assigned to an aisle seat = 8 / 20 = 2 / 5
