Question

On average, a very selective college admits 9 out of every 100 applicants. An admissions officer is reviewing a pile of 200 students' applications, and admits the first 17 students.

What are the chances that she will admit the 18th student?

Explanation:

Answer 2

0% when rounded it is more like 0.54%
9 out of every 100 gives you 18 out of 200 if you take out the 17 that are already chosen that leaves 183 applications and 1 spot left 1/183 = 0.5% but the closest value is 0% for the answer choices.
