Answer 1

We know the probability of choosing an hispanic student is 0.0865, then the probability of choosing a student that is not hispanic is:

`P=1-0.0865=0.9135`

This comes from the fact that the probability of a complement is always equal to 1 minues the probability of the original event.

Therefore, the probability of choosing a person that is not hispanic is 0.9135
