Gopi buys a fish from a shop for his aquarium. The shopkeeper takes out one fish at random from a tank containing 5 male fish and 8 female fish (see Fig.). What is the probability that the fish taken out is a male fish?

The total number of fish in the tank = 5 + 8 = 13
Total number of male fish = 5
P(E) = (Number of favourable outcomes/ Total number of outcomes)
P (male fish) = 5/13 = 0.38
