Question

The table gives the number of students enrolled in each elective.

Elective Number of Students
Art
5

Music
6

Spanish
10

Computer Science
4

If a student from this group is randomly selected, what is the probability that the student is enrolled in computer science?
Enter a number in the box.

Answer 1

To find the probability that a randomly selected student is enrolled in Computer Science, we first need to calculate the total number of students enrolled in all electives.

Using the numbers given in the table:

- Art: 5 students
- Music: 6 students
- Spanish: 10 students
- Computer Science: 4 students

Now, we calculate the total number of students:

\[
\text{Total Students} = 5 + 6 + 10 + 4 = 25
\]

Next, we find the number of students enrolled in Computer Science, which is 4.

The probability \( P \) that a randomly selected student is enrolled in Computer Science is given by:

\[
P(\text{Computer Science}) = \frac{\text{Number of students in Computer Science}}{\text{Total number of students}} = \frac{4}{25}
\]

Thus, the probability that a randomly selected student is enrolled in Computer Science is:

\[
\frac{4}{25}
\]

You can enter this fraction into the box.
