In a survey of college students, 876 said that they have cheated on an exam and 1765 said that they have not. If one college student is selected at random, find the probability that the student has not cheated on an exam

A) 876/1765

B) 1765/2641

C) 876/2641

D) 889/2631

Respuesta :

I believe the answer is B because the total number of students added together is 2641 then we take students that did not cheat (1765)

The probability that the student has not cheated on an exam is

1765 / 2641.

What is probability?

Probability is the chance of happening an event or incident.

Probability can be measured as the ratio of total number of events in a sample space to the number of favorable cases in that sample space.

Here, total number of events in a sample space

= P(A)

= total number of students

= (876 + 1765)

= 2641

The number of favorable cases in that sample space

= P(B)

= the student has not cheated on an exam

= 1765

The required probability is

= P

= P(B) / P(A)

= 1765 / 2641
