The probability of choosing a professor or an instructor is 47.22%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the mathematics faculty at a college consists of 11 professors, 12 associate professors, 7 assistant professors, and 6 instructors, if a faculty member is selected, to find the probability of choosing a professor or an instructor the following calculation must be performed:
11 + 12 + 7 + 6 = 100
11 + 6 = X
36 = 100
17 = X
17 x 100/36 = X
1700/36 = X
47.22 = X
The probability of choosing a professor or an instructor is 47.22%.
