At a local college, four sections of economics are taught during the day and two sections are taught at night. 60 percent of the day sections are taught by full-time faculty. 20 percent of the evening sections are taught by full-time faculty. If Jane has a part-time teacher for her economics course, what is the probability that she is taking a night class?
