Answer #2

ANSWER:

If we select a student at random the marginal probability that they are in the Arts-Sci program,that is, P(student is in Arts-Sci), is calculated by dividing 8994 by 12000 .

EXPLANATION:

Total number of students in the Arts-Sci program=4660+4334=8994 [This value is given in the table as a Column Total.]

Total number of students =(Total number of female students)+(Total number of male students)=6198+5802=12000 [This value is given in the table as a Column Total.]

Hence,

$\text{P(student is in Arts-Sci)}=\frac{\text{Total number of students in the Arts-Sci program}}{\text{Total number of students}} \\*\\*\text{ } \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad =\frac{8994}{12000}$
