At Wassamatta University, 55.7% of the student body are males. Choose one student at random. What is the probability that the student is a female?

Answer (3)

Since 55.70% is male, out of the 100% student populace, the probability that the student is a female is 44.30%.
100% - 55.70% = 44.30%

100% - 55.7%
= 100% - 55% - 0.70%
= 45% - 0.70%
= 44.30%

This means that the probability of selecting a female student at random is 44.3% as a percentage.
