Answer:

38/195 or 0.1949

Step-by-step explanation:

The data of the distribution of hair colors of people in the lecture in question is provided bellow.

[tex]\begin{array}{cccccc}Blonde&Red&Brown&Black&Gray&Total\\29&30&38&49&49&195\end{array}[/tex]

The probability that the next person who leaves the lecture will have brown hair is determined as the number of brown-haired people divided by the number of people in class.

[tex]P(brown) = \frac{38}{195}=0.1949[/tex]

The probability is 38/195 or 0.1949.
