Question

at a small private college with 800 students, 240 students receive some form of government-sponsored financial aid. find the probability that a randomly selected student does not receive some form of government-sponsored financial aid.

Answer 1

The probability is 7/10 or 70% that a randomly selected student does not receive some form of government-sponsored financial aid

Total number of students in the small private college = 800

Number of students who receive some form of government-sponsored financial aid = 240

Number of students who did not receive government-sponsored financial aid = 800 - 240 = 560

Computing the probability using the formula, we get the following:

The probability that a randomly selected student did not receive government-sponsored financial aid = Number of students who did not receive financial aid/Total number of students in the college

= 560/800 = 7/10 or 70%
