Wendy wanted to understand whether students at her school were in favor of an extended school day. She surveyed some students and displayed the results in the table below: If the principal randomly selects a student in grade 12 from this survey, what is the probability that the student is in favor of extending the school day?

`If the principal randomly selects a student in grade 12` so this means we focus on just the "grade 12" row. No other rows will be looked at here

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

`... what is the probability that the student is in favor of extending the school day?"` find the number in favor (who also happen to be in grade 12) then divide that number by the total number in grade 12

make sense @montverde ?

OpenStudy (montverde):

yes so it would be .37

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

10/27 = 0.37037037037038 which rounds to 0.37 you are correct
