The total number of students is 325 (freshmen) + 250 (sophomores) + 175 (juniors) + 100 (seniors) + 150 (graduate students) = 1000 students. The probability of selecting a freshman first is the number of freshmen divided by the total number of students, which is 325/1000 = 0.325. Rounded to two decimal places, this is 0.33.
