The fourth column is labeled Twelfth grade with entries 80, 120, 200, 400.
The fifth column is labeled Total with entries 310, 450, 500, 1,260.
What is the probability that a randomly selected Riverside High School student is in twelfth grade?
The first column has entries Mount Woodson High School, Valley High School, Riverside High School, Total number of students.

And Total number of students in Riverside High School is = 500
Therefore,
The probability that a randomly selected Riverside High School student is in twelfth grade is,
[tex]\rm P(12th \ grade \students ) = \dfrac{Number \ of \ students \ in \ 12th \ grade }{Total\ number \ of \ students}\\\\ P(12th \ grade \students ) = \dfrac{200}{500}\\\\ P(12th \ grade \students )= 0.4[/tex]
