Question

Mrs. Diftardes statistics class has 105 students, classified by academic year and gender, as illustrated in the following table, Mrs. DiNardo randomly chooses one studentto collect yesterday's work. What is the probability that she selects a male, given that she chooses randomly from only the freshmen? Express your answer as a fraction inon terms of a decimal rounded to the nearest millionth

Answer 1

P = 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of students classified as freshmen is 36 because there are 18 males and 18 females.

18 males + 18 females = 36 students

From the 36 freshmen students, 18 are males, so the probability that she selects a male, given that she chooses randomly from only the freshmen is equal to:

`P=(18)/(36)=0.5`

So, the answer is P = 0.5
