    Of the 20 boats at the Mariana, 10 were from Massachusetts. What is the probability that a randomly selected boat will be from Massachusetts?

    P(Boat from Massachusetts) = Number of Massachusetts boats / Total Boats at the Mariana
    P(Boat from Massachusetts) = 10/20

    Simplifying this fraction, we get:
    P(Boat from Massachusetts) = 1/2
