Ava Zavala · Answer 1

The "population" consists of 72 students, 9 of whom plan to take "dance" and 63 of whom plan to take other electives.

Thus, the experimental probability that a given student from this group of 72 will take dance is 9/72. Reduce this fraction to lowest terms.

Noe · Answer 2

Total amount of students=72

p (dance) = 9/72

divide both numerator and denominator with 9

1/8

The experimental probability is 1/8
