Question

A survey was conducted at a high school about art courses taken by seniors. Below is a summary of the responses. given that a male is randomly selected from the survey, what is the probability that he has taken 1 to 2 art courses?Answer Choices: 0.1250.250.6250.64

Answer 1

To calculate the probability we use the formula:

`P(A)=\frac{result\text{ }wanted}{total\text{ }population}`

In this case, the result wanted is the number of males that have taken 1 to 2 art courses. In the table we can see that result wanted = 8

The total population is all the population where we are taking the data. IN this case, is given that the selected student is a male, thus the total is the sum of all male students: 32

Then:

`P(1\text{ }to\text{ }2\text{ }art\text{ }course)=(8)/(32)=0.25`

The answer is 0.25
