    Answer: 0.175

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Probability is particular about a certain outcome of an event relative to the total possible outcome in the event.

    Mathematically, Probability = favourable outcome/possible outcome.

    In this case, favourable outcome = number of students from kenilworth 44 + 33 = 77

    Possible outcome = total number of students = 111 + 44 + 99 + 77 + 33 + 77 = 441

    Hence, probability of choosing a student from kenilworth = 77/441 = 0.175 (3d. p)
