Answer 1

Answer:

24.24%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 33 students 8 of which are management majors.

Since there is no reason to assign different probabilities to the choice of any of them, we should assume that selecting a given student has a probability of 1/33.

As there are 8 management majors, the probability of selecting a management major is 8(1/33) = 0.2424 = 24.24%
