Place your answer, rounded to four decimal places, in the blank. When entering your answer do not use any labels or symbols other than a decimal point. Simply provide the numerical value. For example, 0.1234 would be a legitimate entry.

The numerator of your probability fraction is the number of engineering majors. The denominator is the number of students.

Hi,
600 science majors, 200 engineering majors, and 500 business majors. 1300 in ALL
One student is selected at random
P(Engineering major) = 200/1300 = .1538
