The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to calculate the probability that a student will opt for either Automobile Engineering (AE) or Financial Management (FM) based on the survey results. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Total Number of Students:** The total number of students surveyed is given as 35. 2. **Determine the Number of Students Who Prefer Each Subject:** - Number of students who like Automobile Engineering (AE) = 20 - Number of students who dislike AE (which means they prefer Financial Management) = 15 3. **Calculate the Probability of Choosing Automobile Engineering (AE):** The probability (P) of choosing AE is calculated using the formula: \[ P(AE) = \frac{\text{Number of students who like AE}}{\text{Total number of students}} \] Substituting the values: \[ P(AE) = \frac{20}{35} \] To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by 5: \[ P(AE) = \frac{20 \div 5}{35 \div 5} = \frac{4}{7} \] 4. **Calculate the Probability of Choosing Financial Management (FM):** The probability (P) of choosing FM is calculated similarly: \[ P(FM) = \frac{\text{Number of students who like FM}}{\text{Total number of students}} \] Substituting the values: \[ P(FM) = \frac{15}{35} \] To simplify this fraction, we can divide both the numerator and the denominator by 5: \[ P(FM) = \frac{15 \div 5}{35 \div 5} = \frac{3}{7} \] ### Final Answers: - Probability of choosing Automobile Engineering (AE) = \(\frac{4}{7}\) - Probability of choosing Financial Management (FM) = \(\frac{3}{7}\)
