Respuesta :

Answer:

7/10

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability that a student is a liberal arts or female, we have to add together all of the people who were female or liberal arts majors in the study. If we add those together, (15 + 18 + 17 + 20) we get 70. 70/100 can be simplified to 7/10.

The probability that a randomly selected student is a female or a liberal arts major is; D: 7/10

Probability from a Set

From the table we see that;

  • Female students major in maths/science = 15
  • Female students major in liberal arts = 18
  • Female students with major in business studies = 17
  • Male students in liberal arts = 20

Total number of students under the given condition of liberal arts or female is; 15 + 18 + 17 + 20 = 70

Total number of students in school = 100

Thus;

probability that a randomly selected student is a female or a liberal arts major = 70/100 = 7/10
