Find the probability that a randomly selected person is either a student opposed to the change or a faculty member who has an opinion either for or againstExpress your answer as a fraction in lowest terms or a decimal rounded to the nearest millionth

Answer 1

`0.416667`

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the probability that a randomly selected person is either a student opposed to the change or a faculty member who has an opinion either for or against

We need to get these values

The count of students who are opposed is 59

The count of faculty members who have an opinion either for or against is 16 + 10 = 26

This gives a total of 85

Now, we need to divide this by the total number of students which is 204

Mathematically, we have that as:

`(85)/(204)\text{ = 0.416667}`
