To find the probability of randomly choosing a student who rides the bus, we first need to find the total number of students.

The total number of students can be calculated by summing up the number of students for each mode of transportation:

  • Students who walk: 23
  • Students who ride in a car: 94
  • Students who ride the bus: 83

Total number of students = 23 + 94 + 83 = 200

Now, the probability of randomly choosing a student who rides the bus is the number of students who ride the bus divided by the total number of students:

\[ P(\text{Bus}) = \frac{\text{Number of Bus Riders}}{\text{Total Number of Students}} = \frac{83}{200} \]

Thus, the probability of randomly choosing a student who rides the bus is:

\(\frac{83}{200}\)

So the correct response is:

83/200
