Respuesta :

By observing the given table, we get 19 freshers had job out of 60 students.

The probability of fresher had a summer job is

[tex]F=\frac{19}{60}=0.317[/tex]

24 Senior had a job out of 69 students

The probability of senior having a summer job is

[tex]S=\frac{24}{69}=0.348[/tex]

Comparing the probability values as follows.

[tex]0.317<0.348[/tex]

A freshman is less likely than a senior to have a job.

Option first is correct.
