Given:
Total number of students = 2938
Number of remedial math course students = 254
Number of nonremedial math course students = 1478
Number of calculus-based math = 1206
Required:
(1) Find the probability that this student could take a calculus-based math course.
(2) Find the probability that this student could take a nonremedial, non-calculus-based math course.
(3) find the probability that this student could take a remedial math course.
Explanation:
The probability formula for an event is given as:
[tex]P=\frac{Number\text{ of possible outcomes}}{Total\text{ number of outcomes}}[/tex](1) The probability that this student could take a calculus-based math course.
[tex]\begin{gathered} P(calculus)=\frac{1206}{2938} \\ P(calculus)=0.410 \end{gathered}[/tex](2) The probability that this student could take a nonremedial, non-calculus-based math course.
[tex]\begin{gathered} P(nonremedial)=\frac{1478}{2938} \\ P(nonremedial)=0.503 \end{gathered}[/tex](3) the probability that this student could take a remedial math course.
[tex]\begin{gathered} P(remedial)=\frac{254}{2938} \\ P(remedial)=0.086 \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} P(remedial)=\frac{254}{2938} \\ P(remedial)=0.086 \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} P(calculus)+P(nonremedial)+P(remedial)=0.410+0.503+0.086 \\ P(calculus)+P(nonremedial)+P(remedial)=0.999 \\ P(calculus)+P(nonremedial)+P(remedial)\approx1 \end{gathered}[/tex]Final answer:
[tex]\begin{gathered} P(calculus)=0.410 \\ P(nonremedial)=0.503 \\ P(remedial)=0.086 \\ P(calculus)+P(nonremed\imaginaryI al)+P(remed\imaginaryI al)\approx1 \end{gathered}[/tex]
