A survey was conducted at a school to determine how many students use the outside recreational areas for studying versus recreational. Out of 43 students at the park 25 students were not studying. What is the probability that you would come across a student studying at the park?

(43 -25)/43 = ?

To find the probability that you would come across a student studying at the park, we need to determine the number of students who were studying and divide it by the total number of students at the park.

We are given that out of 43 students at the park, 25 students were not studying. This means that the number of students who were studying is the difference between the total number of students and the number of students who were not studying.

Number of students who were studying = Total number of students - Number of students not studying
Number of students who were studying = 43 - 25
Number of students who were studying = 18

Now, we can calculate the probability by dividing the number of students who were studying by the total number of students at the park.

Probability = Number of students who were studying / Total number of students at the park
Probability = 18 / 43

Therefore, the probability that you would come across a student studying at the park is approximately 0.419 (or 41.9%).
