Two hundred students at a school were surveyed about how early in the day school should begin. Half the students said the current start time was fine, 74 said school should start later, and 26 said school should start earlier. If a student who took the survey is chosen at random, what is the probability that student thinks school should start later?

Respuesta :

74/200, since 74 out of the 200 students said they want it to start later.  This is a probability, however, so it needs to be simplified.
74/200
37/100

The probability that student thinks school should start later will be

[tex]P=37\%[/tex]

What is probability?

Probability is the extent to which an event is likely to occur, measured by the ratio of the favourable cases to the whole number of cases possible.

Since 74 out of the 200 students said they want it to start later.  

So the probability will be:

[tex]P=\dfrac{74}{200},[/tex]

[tex]P=\dfrac{37}{100}[/tex]

Hence probability that student thinks school should start later will be

[tex]P=37\%[/tex]
