A survey of 600 randomly selected high school students determined that 463 play organized sports. ​(a) What is the probability that a randomly selected high school student plays organized​ sports?

Respuesta :

Answer:

probability = 0.7716

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

Total number people surveyed N  = 600

Number of students play organized sports x = 463

solution

we get here probability randomly select high school student play organized​ sport is express as

probability = [tex]\frac{x}{N}[/tex]     ..............1

put here value and we get

probability = [tex]\frac{463}{600}[/tex]    

probability = 0.7716

Answer:

0.77

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of high school students = 600

number of high school students play organized sports = 463

(a)

Number of ways of selection of student who plays organized sports

= [tex]^{463}C_{1}=463[/tex]

Number of ways of selection of student from total number of students

= [tex]^{600}C_{1}=600[/tex]

So, the probability of selection of one student who plays organized sports out of total number of students = [tex]\frac{463}{600}[/tex] = 0.77

Thus, the probability of selection of one student out of total who plays organized sports is 0.77.
