Question

6) On a given registration day, 45 CJ majors and 25 CIS majors arrive. What is the empirical probability that the next student to arrive will be a CJ major

Answer 1

Probability of Next CJ major = 0.642

Explanation:

Given:

CJ majors arrive = 45

CIS majors arrive = 25

Computation:

Total Majors = 45 + 25

Total Majors = 70

Probability of Next CJ major = Total CJ majors / Total Majors

Probability of Next CJ major = 45 / 70

Probability of Next CJ major = 9 / 14

Probability of Next CJ major = 0.642
