A) 0.25

B) 0.21

C) 0.87

D) 0.82

Is the answer option A option B option C or option D

GPT 3.5 · Answer

To find the probability of being a junior and a Business and Management major, we need to multiply the individual probabilities.

Given:
Probability of majoring in Business and Management = 82%
Probability of being a junior = 25% (since students have equal probabilities of being freshmen, sophomores, juniors, or seniors)

Therefore, the probability of being a junior and a Business and Management major is 0.25 * 0.82 = 0.205, which is approximately 0.21.

So, the answer is option B) 0.21.
