Sagot :

The number of students those who will most likely have their preference  to do their classwork online is 238 out of 350

According to the question statement, A teacher surveys a random group of students about their preference for doing classwork online or on paper.

17 Preferred Online and 8 Preferred on paper.

We are supposed to find the number of students who will most likely have their preference to do their classwork online.

We will be using the concept of Probability for solving this.

[tex]Probability(Event)=\frac{Favourable Outcomes}{Total Outcomes}[/tex]

Probability(Event) = Favorable Outcomes/Total Outcomes

For the survey probability of students preferring online mode of classwork is = [tex]\frac{17}{17+8} =\frac{17}{25}[/tex]

                     = [tex]0.68[/tex]

Now if we consider a group of 350 students and probability of students preferring online mode of classwork as 0.68

Let the number students preferring online mode of classwork be "x"

so  [tex]\frac{x}{350} =0.68[/tex]

or  [tex]x=0.68*350\\x =238[/tex]

Therefore, the number of students those who will most likely have their preference  to do their classwork online is 238 out of 350

  • Probability: P(A) = n(A)/n(S)

where P(A) is the probability of an event “A”,  n(A) is the number of favorable outcomes and n(S) is the total number of events in the sample space.
