Explanation / Answer

As this question is not specific of what to answer.

I assume that the probability for a randomly selected student is asked in both the cases (b) and (c).

(b) Probability that the student is not a business major = (1305-502)/1305 = 0.615

(c) Probability that the student is business major and wants to study full time = (352/502) = 0.701
