Students apply for admission to different academic programs within a college. Because of space, each program can only accept a limited number of students. The table below shows the acceptance data for a selection of majors in the college.

Acceptance Status

Accepted Rejected Total

College Major Chemistry 72 18 90

Business 65 35 100

Spanish 45 15 60

Total 182 68 250

What is the probability that a student was accepted, given that the student applied to the business program?

26.0%

35.0%

35.7%

65.0%

I think the answer is (A). 26%. Can someone check?

The reason why: You can calculate the percentage by dividing the number of accepted students by the total of business students, 65/100 which equals 65%.

The probability that a student was accepted is 5.0% since option b be the correct answer.

Probability

Probability is the branch of mathematics concerning numerical descriptions of how likely an event is to occur, or how likely it is that a proposition is true. The probability of an event is a number between 0 and 1,

How to find probability?

We have to find out the probability of the selection of a student applied for the business program.

We know that, Probability= Total number of events occurred÷ Total number of possible outcomes/events

So, Probability that a student applying to the business program got selected= No of accepted students for business program÷Total number of students applied for business program=65÷100=0.65For converting a number into percentage we multiply the number by 100 that is 0.65*100=65%So, probability that a student applying for business program gets selected is 65%.
