Question

random students were asked if they think tuition costs at their community college are too high, about right, or lower than expected. the results are such: high 86, about right 40, low 24. based on these results, what is the probability that a random community college student would think their tuition costs were low or about right? options: 64%, 60%, 42.7%, 74.4%

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total students

Total = High + About Right + Low = 86 + 40 + 24 = 150

Step2: Sum Low and About Right

Sum = 24 + 40 = 64

Step3: Compute probability percentage

Probability = $\frac{64}{150} \times 100\% \approx 42.7\%$

Answer:

C. 42.7%
