Question 8 (2 points)Given the table below, determine the probability of selecting a female student istaking physics. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth,MalesFemalesBiology6070Chemistry5560PhysicsTotal175175Your Answer:Answer

Answer 1

I will assume the general table given in the problem.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let's draw the table,

Since all the information and total is given, except physics, let us calculate the two blanks in the table.

So, the completed table is,

We want the probability of selecting a female student taking physics.

For that, we need the number of female physics students and the total number of students.

From the table, we see that,

Female Physics students = 45

Total number of students = 175 + 175 = 350

Thus,

The probability of selecting a female student taking physics is 45/350

Or,

0.12857

Rounding to the nearest hundredth (2 decimal places), the answer is

0.13
