Answer:

4) 0.37

Explanation:

If the principal randomly selects a student in grade 10 from this survey, the probability that the student is opposed to extending the school day is a division of the number of students that opposed from 10 Grade by the total number of students of the 10 Grade.

The table of the question is as:

Grade In favor Opposed Undecided

9 6 4 8

10 10 11 9

11 12 15 11

12 15 6 14

So, there are 10 students in 10 grade that are in favor of the extended school day, 11 students that are Opposed and 9 students that are undecided about the extended school day. then, there are 30 student in 10 Grade

Then, the probability is:


(11)/(10+11+9) =(11)/(30)=0.37
