Question

A student from the community college is selected at random. Find the probability that the student is at last 31. Round approximations to three decimals places

Answer 1

0.077

Explanation:

From the table :

Number of students aged 31 - 35 = 60

Number of students over 35 = 26

Total number of students = total possible outcomes = 1123

Required outcome = (students aged 31 - 35) + over 35 = 60 + 26 = 86

Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

Probability (at least 31) = 86 / 1123 = 0.0765

= 0.077 (3 decimal places)
