Question

The following table shows the profile, by the math section of the SAT Reasoning Test, of admitted students at UCLA for the Fall 2014 semester.

SAT Reasoning Test—Math Section
	700–800	600–699	500–599	400–499	200–399	Total
Admitted	8,398	3,517	1,410	358	9	13,692
Not admitted	16,599	18,363	13,119	6,714	1,652	56,447
Total applicants	24,997	21,880	14,529	7,072	1,661	70,139

Determine the probability of the following event. HINT [Example 6.] (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

An applicant had a Math SAT below 700.

Answer 1

The probability of a MATH SAT score below 700 is computed here as:

= (Total applicants - Total applicants with score 700-800) / Total applicants

= (70139 - 24997) / 70139

= 0.6436

Therefore 0.6436 is the required probability here.
