Answer 1

ANSWER:

A

Step -by -step verification:

Total number of female students that play instruments

Total number of students =43/140

Answer 2

If a musician is selected at random, the probability that the individual is a female student is; 15/28

How to Find the Probability?

We are given;

Total Number of High school students surveyed = 140

Number of males that play instruments = 24

Number of males that don't play instruments = 41

Number of females that play instruments = 43

Number of females that don't play instruments = 32

Thus, If a musician is selected at random, the probability that the individual is a female student is;

P(Female Student) = (43 + 32)/140 = 75/140 = 15/28
