A university president proposed that all students must take a course in ethics as a requirement for graduation.

Answer:

0.5333

Step-by-step explanation:

We have

P(faculty) to be the probability of faculty being selected

= 70/300

= 0.233333333

We also have

P(favor) to be the probability of being in favor of this proposal

= 135/300

= 0.45

In answer to this question,

The required probability

= P(faculty) + p(favor) - p(faculty n favor)

p(faculty n favor) = 45/300

= 0.15

Probability = 0.233333333 + 0.45- 0.15

= 0.5333 approximately
