Answer 1

Answer:

A. 0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

First make the table.

                                          10-grade  11-grade  12-grade  Total

Woodson high school    |     110     |     120    |      80     |   310   |

Valley high school          |     180    |     150    |     120     | 450   |

Riverside high school     |     160    |     140    |     200    | 500   |

Total                                 |     450   |     410    |     400    | 1260 |

Question: In decimal form, to the nearest tenth, what is the probability that a randomly selected riverside high school student is in twelfth grade?

First, find 12-grade and riverside high school number. 200. Take the total lined up with total number, which is 1260, and divide 200 divided by 1260.

200/1260=0.2

The answer is 0.2.

Hope this helps!
