Data collected at elementary schools in Los Angeles County, CA suggest that each year roughly 25% of students miss exactly one day of school, 15% miss 2 days, and 28% miss 3 or more days due to sickness. a. What is the probability that a student chosen at random does not miss any days of school due to sickness this year? b. What is the probability that a student chosen at random misses no more than one day?
