Answer 1

0.2917 = 29.17% probability that a randomly selected female student on campus will have served a mission.

Explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this question:

1200 female students, out of them, 350 have served a mission. So

`p = (350)/(1200) = 0.2917`

0.2917 = 29.17% probability that a randomly selected female student on campus will have served a mission.
