Mackenzie Meyers · Answer 1

A. 0.35

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there are four class ranks - freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior

Freshman = 35% = 0.35

Sophomore = 30% = 0.3

Junior or senior = 100% - 35% - 30%

= 1 - 0.35 - 0.30

= 0.35

The probability that a student selected at random is either a junior or senior is 0.35.
