Solution

The probability of an event is calculated by dividing the number of ways the event can occur by the total number of outcomes.

In this case, the event is a student studying Commerce, and the total number of outcomes is the total number of students in the course.

Step 1: Identify the number of ways the event can occur The number of students studying Commerce is 1200.

Step 2: Identify the total number of outcomes The total number of students in the course is 2000.

Step 3: Calculate the probability The probability is therefore 1200 / 2000 = 0.6.

Rounding to one decimal place, the probability that a randomly selected student from the course will study Commerce is 0.6.
