a university class has had 9 undergraduate students enroll so far, as well as 9 other students. what is the experimental probability that the next student to enroll will be an undergraduate student? write your answer as a fraction or whole number. p(undergraduate) =
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Calculate total students
$9 + 9=18$
Step2: Calculate probability
$P(\text{undergraduate})=\frac{\text{Number of undergraduates}}{\text{Total number of students}}=\frac{9}{18}$
Step3: Simplify the fraction
$\frac{9}{18}=\frac{1}{2}$
Answer:
$\frac{1}{2}$
