To know the opinion of the students about Mathematics, a survey of 200 students was conducted. The data is recorded in the following table:

Find the probability that a student chosen at random likes Mathematics."

Given:

A survey of 200 students was conducted.

To do:

We have to find the probability that a student chosen at random likes Mathematics.

Solution:

Total number of students $=200$

Number of students who like Mathematics $=135$

We know that,

Probability of an event=$ \frac{Number \ of \ favourable \ outcomes}{Total \ number \ of \ outcomes}$

Therefore,

Probability that the student likes Mathematics $=\frac{135}{200}$

$=0.675$

This implies,

The probability that the student likes Mathematics is $0.675$.
