Question

find the indicated probability. the distribution of masters degrees conferred by a university is listed in the table. (assume that a student majors in only one subject) number students in each major major frequency mathematics 230 english 206 engineering 86 business 176 education 222 what is the probability that a randomly selected student with a masters degree majored in english or mathematics? round your answer to three decimal places. 0.526 0.474 0.250 0.224

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total number of students

$230 + 206+86 + 176+222=920$

Step2: Calculate number of students in English or Mathematics

$230 + 206 = 436$

Step3: Calculate the probability

$P=\frac{436}{920}\approx0.474$

Answer:

0.474
