required) This Question: 1 pt 16 of 42 (14 complete)is Test The distribution of Master's degrees conferred by a university is listed in the table. Assume that a student majors in only one subject. OA. 0.222 OB. 0472 C. 0.250 O D. 0.528 Major Frequency Mathematics English Engineering Business Education 229 204 86 176 What is the probability that a randomly selected student with a Master's degree majored in English or Mathematics? Round your answer to three decimal places. Click to select your answer This course (MATH 25 Co1 (Surnmer 2018) is based on argnElmExplanation / Answer
We are given the distribution of Master's Degree Conferred by a university.
Total number of students conferred by the university= 229+204+86+176+222=917
The probability that a student majored in Mathematics
= No. of students majored in mathematics / Total number of students
= 229/917
=0.24972
Similarly, Probability that a student majored in English
= 204/917
= 0.22246
Hence, the Probability that a student majored in English or Mathematics
= P(a student majored in English) + P( a student majored in Mathematics)
=0.24972+0.22246
= 0.4721
= 0.472 (rounded off to 3 decimal places)
Hence, option B.
