Suppose a class of 24 students is debating about gun control. from the class, 17 students are in favor of banning guns, 5 students are against banning guns, and the remaining students choose not to. voice their opinions. if 1 student is chosen at random, what is the probability that the student did not voice his or her opinion? round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent

The answer you are looking for is 8.3%.

To find this, you must find out how many students did not choose to voice their opinions. Simply add 17 and 5 to get 22, and subtract 22 from 24. This will give you 2 students who didn't voice their opinions. Then, divide 2 by 24. In doing so, you'll get 0.083333... which you multiply by 100 to get a percent. You'll be left with 8.3333... which rounded to the nearest tenth, is 8.3%.

I hope this helps!

40 is the final : )
