You can put this solution on YOUR website! An introductory psychology class has 9 freshman males, 15 freshman females, 8 sophomore males, and 12 sophomore females. If one student is randomly selected from this class, how would you calculate the probability of him or her being a sophomore?
--------
# of ways to succeed:: 8+12 = 20
# of possible outcomes: 9+15+8+12 = 44
-----
P(sophomore) = 20/44 = 5/11
