Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Probability that the student is against the proposal
= \(\frac{32 + 48}{128 + 32 + 96 + 48}\)
= \(\frac{80}{304}\)
= \(\frac{5}{19}\)
Probability that the student is against the proposal
= \(\frac{32 + 48}{128 + 32 + 96 + 48}\)
= \(\frac{80}{304}\)
= \(\frac{5}{19}\)
