There are 26 juniors of whom 16 preferred morning classes, so the probability is 16/26 = 0.615

It is given that they are a junior, so we will only look at the junior row.

\(\frac{16}{16+2+8} \)

\(=0.615\)

Since the juniors preferences were as follows:morning=16, Afternoon=2 and

Evening=8, then we have:

16/[16+2+8]=16/26=.615 x100=61.5% probability that a junior preferred morning calsses.
