To find the probability of selecting a student who wants the option to keep studying online, you can use the formula for probability:

\[ P(\text{want option}) = \frac{\text{Number of students who want option}}{\text{Total number of students}} \]

From the table:

  • The number of students who want the option to keep studying online is 13.
  • The total number of students is 25.

Using the formula:

\[ P(\text{want option}) = \frac{13}{25} \]

Now, to convert this probability to a percentage, you multiply by 100:

\[ P(\text{want option}) \times 100 = \frac{13}{25} \times 100 \]

Calculating that:

\[ \frac{13}{25} = 0.52 \]

Now multiply by 100:

\[ 0.52 \times 100 = 52 \]

Therefore, the probability of selecting a student who wants the option to keep studying online is 52%.
