250 + 225 + 275 = 750 in total so 1/750

Answer: The probability is P = 0.32

Explanation:

Here i guess that the question is: "what is the probability of randomly selecting a seventh-grader".

The data that we have is:

We have 250 sixth graders, 225 seventh graders and 275 eight graders, this adds to a total of 700 options.

The probability of randomly selecting a seventh-grader is equal to the number of seventh-graders divided the total number of possible options, in this case, 700.

So we have P = 225/700 = 0.32

This means that the probability of randomly selecting a seventh-grader is equal to 0.32
