Question

3 of 32 (1 point) uestion Students in a Math Literacy course on one campus were surveyed about their majors. The results are summarized in the table below. Round all probabilities to two decimal places. Major Nursing Criminal Justice Business Technology Other Number of students 32 48 69 102 Part 1 out of 3 a) If a counselor was randomly assigned to work with the students in one of these 4 categories, what is the probability that he is assigned to work with the nursing majors? Is this an example of empirical or theoretical probability? The probability that the counselor is assigned to work with nursing majors is This is an example of (select) probability.

Explanation / Answer

The total number of students in 4 categories is 32+48+69+102=251. Nursing major has 32 students. So the probability to assign nursing major is 32/251=.13.

This is an example of empirical probability

Definition of Empirical probability:-.  the relative frequency of A is the ratio m/n, m being the number of outcomes in which the event A occurs, and n being the total number of outcomes of the experiment.
