Question

In a survey of students, 1162 stated they cheated and 2468 stated they did not. If one student is randomly selected what is the probability that they cheated

Answer 1

Answer:

$n = 1162 +2468 =3630$

And the probability that they cheated and we can use the classical definition of probability given by:

$p =\frac{successes}{Total}$

And replacing we got:

$p=\frac{1162}{3630}= 0.320$

So then the probability of people cheated is 0.320 or 32% approximately

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem we know that in a survey of students, 1162 stated they cheated and 2468 stated they did not.

The total of people is given by:

$n = 1162 +2468 =3630$

And the probability that they cheated and we can use the classical definition of probability given by:

$p =\frac{successes}{Total}$

And replacing we got:

$p=\frac{1162}{3630}= 0.320$

So then the probability of people cheated is 0.320 or 32% approximately
