Start by finding the total number of students by adding the number of students with each career field.
P(public service)=3/25
We are given a table with the results of a survey of seventh graders.
Career Field
Students
Entertainment
17
Education
14
Medicine

Public Service
6

2
Before we can find the probability of choosing a career in public service, we need to find the total number of students.
17+ 14+ 11+ 6+ 2= 50
Now we can divide the number of students that chose a career in public service by the total number of students.
P(public service)=6/50=3/25
