Question

Giving a test to a group of students, the grades and gender are summarized below. if one student was chosen at random, find the probability that the student was female. male total 39 female total 26

Answer 1

Answer: 40% of the total population is female.

To find the probability that a student is female, first add up both the number of males and females.

39 + 26 = 65

Now, divide the total number of females by 65 and multiply by 100.

26 / 60 = 0.4 x 100 = 40%
