Given:

See attachment for graph

Required:

If a students at random, find the probability the students the student is a senior

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this , we calculate the total students

Total=4+6+2+2+3+4+6+3

Total=30

next select the value in the cell that intersects senior

male + female=2+3=5

Hence, the probability is


\begin{gathered} Pr=(senior)/(total) \\ \\ Pr=(5)/(30) \\ \\ Pr=0.3333 \end{gathered}

Express as percentage


\begin{gathered} Pr=0.3333*100\% \\ Pr=33\% \end{gathered}

Required answer:

30%
