They conducted a random survey and found these results: Answer All the time Usually Only when it’s convenient Never Probability 0.55 0.25 0.15 0.05 What is the probability that a randomly selected student at this university recycles at least some of the time? answer to two decimal places:

Answer 1

Answer:

0.95 = 95% probability that a randomly selected student at this university recycles at least some of the time

Step-by-step explanation:

For a randomly selected student, we have these following probabilities:

0.55 probability that they always recicle.

0.25 probability that they usually recicle.

0.15 probability that they recicle only when it's convenient.

0.05 probability that they never recicle.

What is the probability that a randomly selected student at this university recycles at least some of the time?

Always, usually or only when it's convenient.

0.55 + 0.25 + 0.15 = 0.95

0.95 = 95% probability that a randomly selected student at this university recycles at least some of the time
