    A survey of undergraduate students in the School of Business at Northern University revealed the following regarding the gender and majors of the students:

    Gender Accounting Management Finance Total
    Male 100 150 50 300
    Female 100 50 50 200
    Total 200 200 100 500

    a. What is the probability of selecting a female student?

    is a male?
    f. Suppose two students are selected randomly to attend a lunch with the president of the

    First, see our guidelines about posting homework problems:

    https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/financ...-b-u-font.html

    We aren't here just to work through this entire problem for you. Show some attempt to do it, or ask specific questions about where you are stuck.

    Second, this also isn't finance & accounting. It's kind of math. So move it over there, and then follow the guidelines for posting homework.
