• selecting one person among = selecting one from freshmen or selecting one from sophomores or selecring one form juniors or selecting one from seniors .
  no. of chances of selecting one from freshmen = 375
  no. of chances of selecting one from sophomores = 293
  no. of chances of selecting one from juniors = 187
  no. of chances of selecting one from seniors = 126
  Therefore , total no. of chances of selecting one =375+293+187+126=981
  Therefore % of chance of selecting a juni0r = (no. of chances of selecting a junior /no. of chances of selecting anyone)*

• probability
  = favourable outcomes/total no.of outcomes *100
  total number of students=375+293+187+126=981
  no.of juniors=187
  probability of finding a junior=187/981 *100
  =19.02%
  approximately 19%

• Ans. 19%
  
  Total number of students = 375+293+187+126 = 981
  
  Probability of junior will receive award =187/981
