Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the probability, add the frequencies of Business, Education, and Engineering majors and divide by the total number of Master's degrees conferred. The total is 216 (Mathematics) + 207 (English) + 84 (Engineering) + 171 (Business) + 226 (Education) = 904. The sum of Business, Education, and Engineering frequencies is 84 + 171 + 226 = 481. Therefore, the probability is 481/904 = 0.532, rounded to three decimal places.
