Mr. Doodle’s grade distribution over the past 3 years for a course in college algebra is shown in the chart below.

Grade Number

A 45

B 180

C 110

D 95

F 65

I 5

If Jane plans to take a college algebra course with Mr. Doodle, determine the empirical probability that she receives at least a B. I think it's 1.7777 ??
Answered by bobpursley
Since when can a probabliity be greater then one?
Answered by Jen
is it 180/500 = 2.7777???
Answered by bobpursley
Jen, think. How can 180/500 be more than one.
Answered by Ms. Sue
Jen!! 2.777 is also greater than one!

Answered by bobpursley
Prob of at least B is = prob of A +prob of B= (45+180)/totalofallgrades
Answered by Jen

Answered by Ms. Sue
