Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The total number of Master's degrees is 224 (Mathematics) + 200 (English) + 86 (Engineering) + 176 (Business) + 222 (Education) = 908. The probability of selecting a student who majored in English or Mathematics is (224 + 200) / 908 = 424 / 908 = 0.467, rounded to three decimal places.
