1 3
2 2
3 10
4 9
5 7
6 3


Determine the probability that a student studied for exactly 4 hours. Round to the nearest hundredth.
0.74
0.35
0.26
0.11

Answer 1

26

Explanation:

1+3+2+10+9+7+3= 35

35 divided by 4

Answer 2

0.26

Explanation:

There are 1 + 3 + 2 + 10 + 9 + 7 + 3 = 35 total students. Additionally, there are 9 students who work exactly 4 hours. Thus, the probability is 9/35, or 0.26 rounded to the nearest hundredth.
