Question

A local university reports that 3% of their students take their general education courses on a pass/fail basis. assume that fifty students are registered for a general education course. what is the expected number of students who have registered on a pass/fail basis? (1 decimal format = 0.0)

Answer 1

Solving this problem is pretty straight forward. We simply have to find for the product of the fraction of the amount of students that take on a pass or fail basis and the total population. That is:

expected students = 0.03 * 50 students

expected students = 1.5 students

Answer:

1.5
