Question

Please help and thank you.

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?

a. 9%
b. 100%
c. 0%
d. 17%

Answer 1

Because the ratio of acceptance is 9:100, we simply multiply both by 2:

9:100 = 18:100

The chances of her admitting the 18th student is Option B., 100%
