Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in a high school graduating class of 202 students, 95 are on the honor roll. Of these, 71 are going on to college, and of the other 107 students, 53 are going on to college.

Total students = 202

Honor roll = 95

College going out of honor = 71

Non college going out of honor = 24

Not in honor roll = 107

Not going to college from not in honour = 53

The probabilities that the person chosen is

(a) going to college,  = [tex]\frac{71+53}{202} \\=0.614[/tex]

(b) not going to college, =[tex]\frac{202-124}{202} \\=0.485[/tex]

(c) on the honor roll, but not going to college

=[tex]\frac{24}{202} \\=0.119[/tex]
