Answer

$P(Junior)=\frac{112}{449}\approx0.2494$

Work Step by Step

$N(Senior)=92$ $N(Junior)=112$ $N(Sophomore)=125$ $N(Freshman)=120$ The sample space: $92+112+125+120=449$ students. So, $N(S)=449$ 1) a single event 2) relative frequency Use the Empirical Approach (page 258): $P(Junior)=\frac{N(Junior)}{N(S)}=\frac{112}{449}\approx0.2494$
