Question

In a survey of college students, 824 said they have cheated on an exam and 1727 said that they have not. If one college student is selected at random, find the probability that the student has cheated on an exam.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is P = 0.32

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Number of students that cheated = 824

Number of students that do not cheat = 1727

The Probability that a student has cheated = ?

Process

1.- Calculate the total number of students

      Total = 824 + 1727

                 = 2551

2.- Calculate the probability

Probability = Number of students that cheated / Total number of students

-Substitution

Probability = 824 / 2551

-Result

Probability = 0.32
