Let's analyze the problem step by step to determine the chance of Silva being selected from the population.
1. Understanding the Information:
- We are given that the chance of Steve being selected in a simple random sample from the population is [tex]\(\frac{1}{98,000}\)[/tex].
2. Simple Random Sampling:
- In simple random sampling, every member of the population has an equal chance of being selected.
- This means that the probability of each member of the population being selected is the same.
3. Applying the Principle to Silva:
- Since Silva is also a member of the same population, her chance of being selected would be the same as Steve's.
4. Calculating Silva's Chance:
- The chance of Steve being selected is given as [tex]\(\frac{1}{98,000}\)[/tex].
- Therefore, the chance of Silva being selected follows the same probability, which is also [tex]\(\frac{1}{98,000}\)[/tex].
Thus, the chance of Silva being selected is:
[tex]\[ \frac{1}{98,000} \][/tex]
Therefore, the correct answer is:
[tex]\[ \boxed{\frac{1}{98,000}} \][/tex]
