A group of freshmen and sophomore students was selected and each was asked whether they were a member of a student club. The following table was constructed:

Student Club No Student Club
Freshman 4 15
Sophomore 9 7

Find the probability that a randomly selected student form the group is a freshman or is a member of a student club.

Write only a number as your answer. Round to two decimal places (for example: 0.73). Do not write as a percentage.

1 answer

Frosh = (4+15)/grand total

Member = (4+9)/grand total

Either-or probabilities are found by adding the individual probabilities.
