Stay in school: In a recent school year in the state of Washington, there were 319,000 high school students. Of these, 157,000 were female and 162,000 were male. Among the females, 9600 dropped out of school, and among the males, 10,100 dropped out. A student is chosen at random. Round the answers to four decimal places. (a) What is the probability that the student is female? (b) What is the probability that the student dropped out? (c) What is the probability that the student is female and dropped out?
