Question

PLS HELP ASAP The following probability distribution table shows information collected from a survey of students regarding their grade level and the transportation they use to arrive at school. What is the probability that a randomly selected eighth grader takes the bus?

Answer 1

44%

Explanation:

For these types of problems, look at the totals. We know that there are 0.44 out of 1 eighth graders. Since it doesn't specify how the 8th grader is dropped off, we take 0.44 and divide it by 1 (the total). We get 0.44, but since it's most likely asking for percentages, multiply that by 100.
