To determine the probability that a student selected at random prefers to play tag at recess, you would need the total number of students who prefer to play tag and the total number of students in both classes combined.

Let's assume the table with the preferences looks something like this:

Activity | Class 1 | Class 2 --------------------------- Tag | a | b Swing | c | d Slide | e | f Other | g | h

Where a, b, c, d, e, f, g, and h represent the number of students in each category.

To find the probability: 1. Add the number of students from both classes who prefer to play tag. This will be a + b. 2. Add the total number of students in both classes. This will be a + b + c + d + e + f + g + h. 3. Divide the number of students who prefer to play tag by the total number of students.

So, the probability (P) is: P(tag) = (a + b) / (a + b + c + d + e + f + g + h)

Remember, probabilities are most often expressed as fractions, percentages, or decimals. If you provide the actual numbers from the table, I can give you the exact probability.
