Respuesta :

Answer and Explanation:

a. The computation of the probability for a student either a finance or marketing major is shown below:

= Number of expected outcomes ÷ total number of outcomes

= (67 + 45) ÷ (67 + 45+ 51 + 18)

= 112 ÷ 181

= 0.6188

b. Now for mutually exclusive, we make the assumption that the none of the students has taken for multiple specializations also nothing is mentioned in the question
