Question

This table shows how many students from two high schools attended a
football game.
A student is randomly selected.
What is the probability that a student did not attend the game, given that the
student is from Westville? Round your answer to two decimal places.

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 0.60

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find out a couple things first:

1. How many students are from Westville?
2. How many students did not attend the game that are from Westville?

We need to find specifically Westville, because we don't want to accidentally pick someone from North Beach who attended.

So let's look:

1. Total from Westville: 150
2. Total who did not attend from Westville: 90

Now in order to find a probability, we need to divide the smaller number from the biggest number. Let's do that:

90/150 = 0.6

And for this question, we specifically have to round to two decimal places. In order to do this, we just write the extra 0 at the end:

0.6 = 0.60

Look at that, 0.60 is one of our answers! :D
