Two groups of male students cast their vote on a particular proposal. The results are as follows:
In favor Against
Group A 128 32
Group B 96 48
If a student is chosen at random, what is probability that he is against the proposal?
  • A 3/19
  • B 4/19
  • C 5/19
  • D 9/19
  • E 10/19

The correct answer is C. 5/19

Probability that the student is against the proposal

= \(\frac{32 + 48}{128 + 32 + 96 + 48}\)

= \(\frac{80}{304}\)

= \(\frac{5}{19}\)
