question 257

Short Answer

Student admissions are based on the following table, which shows the profile, by Math SAT I scores, of admitted students at some university for the Fall 2004 semester. Determine the theoretical probability of the event: "An applicant had a Math SAT below 400." (Round your answer to the nearest 0.01). $$\begin{array} { | l | l | l | l | l | l | l | } \hline & \mathbf { 2 0 0 } - \mathbf { 3 9 9 } & \mathbf { 4 0 0 } - \mathbf { 4 9 9 } & \mathbf { 5 0 0 } - \mathbf { 5 9 9 } & \mathbf { 6 0 0 } - \mathbf { 6 9 9 } & \mathbf { 7 0 0 } - \mathbf { 8 0 0 } & \text { Total } \\\hline \text { Admitted } & 10 & 212 & 1,124 & 2,882 & 5,296 & 9,524 \\\hline \begin{array} { l } \text { Not } \\\text { Admitted }\end{array} & 722 & 3,513 & 8,878 & 12,230 & 5,150 & 30,493 \\\hline \begin{array} { l } \text { Total } \\\text { Applicants }\end{array} & 732 & 3,725 & 10,002 & 15,112 & 10,446 & 40,017 \\\hline\end{array}$$ ​
