Question

In a survey of college students, 824 said that 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

This is nice, I have a test on probability tomorrow, more practice. :) 

824/2551 chance of a student that has cheated on an exam.

Answer 2

Probability that the student has cheated on an exam is equals to $P(A) = \frac{824}{2551}$.

What is probability?

" Probability is defined as the ratio of number of favourable outcomes to the total number of outcomes."

Formula used

Probability = $\frac{Number of favourable outcomes}{Total number of outcomes}$

According to the question,

Number of students cheated on an exam = 824

Number of students not cheated on an exam = 1727

Total number of students = 824 + 1727

                                          = 2551

Substitute the value in the formula to get the required probability,

Probability = $\frac{824}{2551}$

Hence, probability that the student has cheated on an exam is equals to $P(A) = \frac{824}{2551}$.
