Answer 1

Explanation:

Total number of students:

• 178 + 21 + 301 + 162 = 662

1)

The probability that a student will begin college during the summer semester and attend an in-state college:

• P = 178/662*100% = 26.89% (rounded)

2)

The probability that a student will begin college during the summer semester given that he is attending an in-state college:

• P = 178/(178 + 301)*100% = 37.16% (rounded)
