If a student in the class is to beselected at random, what is the probability thatthe student selected will be a sophomore or amathematics major or both?

Sagot :

Given:

To Determine: The probability that a student selected at random will be a sophomore or a mathematics major or both

The probability would be

[tex]\begin{gathered} P(S,or,M,or,\text{both)}=\frac{n(S)+n(M)+n(\text{both)}}{n(\text{total)}} \\ P(S,or,M,or,\text{both)}=\frac{15+5+10}{50} \\ P(S,or,M,or,\text{both)}=\frac{30}{50} \\ P(S,or,M,or,\text{both)}=\frac{3}{5} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence, the probability of that a student selected at random will be a sophomore or a mathematics major or both is 3/5
