Question 979607: What is the probability that a student in a college of 800 students is both a math major and a computer science major (assuming these events are independent) if there are 85 math majors and 125 computer science majors? Answer by 428225(90) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Since you know that there are 85 students who are maths majors out of 800, the probability of being a maths major is . Also, the probability of a student being a computer science major is .
To find the probability of a student being both, you must multiply the probability of the events together.
Therefore the probability of a student being both a maths major and a computer science major is
