Use the table below to answer the questions that follow. Express probabilities for each as fractions and decimals. Write a complete sentence for each, with the probability expressed as a percentage, that explains the answer in the context of the problem. The table below represents the majors and genders of 200 randomly selected students from a nearby college. Find the probability that a randomly selected student is a Statistic major. Find the probability that a randomly selected student is a male Accounting major. Find the probability that a randomly selected student is male. Which major occurs most often in this sample of students? justify your choice.

Explanation / Answer

1) P(statistics major) = 40/200 = 0.2

Probability that a randomly selected student is statistics major is 20%

2) P(male accounting major) = 56/200 = 0.28

Probability that a randomly selected student is male accounting major is 28%

3) P(male) = 102/200 = 0.51

Probability that a randomly selected student is male is 51%

4) Since the maximum number of students are in accounting major, accounting will be the most occuring major.
