Start by finding the total number of students by adding the number of students with each career field.
P(education)=7/25
We are given a table with the results of a survey of seventh graders.
| Career Field | Students |
|---|---|
| Entertainment | 17 |
| Education | 14 |
| Medicine | 11 |
| Public Service | 6 |
| Sports | 2 |
Before we can find the probability of choosing a career in education, 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 education by the total number of students. P(education)=14/50=7/25
