Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The total number of students accepted into college is 140 (female) + 95 (male) = 235. The total number of graduates is 425. So, the probability is 235/425, which simplifies to 47/85 or 0.5529. This is not directly any of the given options, but it seems there might be a misunderstanding in the representation of the options. The correct calculation of the probability is 235 accepted out of 425 graduates, which simplifies to 47/85.
