if a student is selected at random, find the probability of selecting a student as P(M U F)
ummhh,
1
To find the probability of selecting a student as P(M U F), we need to know the total number of students in the sample space. In other words, we need to find the total number of males and females combined.
To calculate the probability:
Step 1: Find the total number of students by adding the number of males and females together:
Total number of students = number of males + number of females
Total number of students = 9115 + 9636
Total number of students = 18751
Step 2: Calculate the probability of selecting a student as P(M U F):
P(M U F) = (number of males + number of females) / total number of students
P(M U F) = (9115 + 9636) / 18751
P(M U F) = 18751 / 18751
P(M U F) = 1
Therefore, the probability of selecting a student as P(M U F) is 1, or 100%.
It's important to note that since P(M U F) represents the probability of selecting either a male or a female student, and there are no other possibilities, the probability is guaranteed to be 100%.
