The probability that an applicant planning to stay off-campus is a transfer applicant is C. 0.559.
The number of transfer applicants that want to stay off-campus = 66
The total number of applicants staying off-campus = 118
Probability (Transfer and Off-Campus) = Number of transfer applicants staying off-campus / Total number of applicants staying off-campus
Probability (Transfer and Off-Campus) = 66 ÷ 118 ≈ 0.559
Thus, the probability that an applicant planning to stay off-campus is a transfer applicant is approximately C. 0.559.
