1. **Stating the problem:**
We are given percentages of students in various faculties and asked to find probabilities related to faculty membership.
2. **Recall:** Probability of an event = (Percentage of that event) / 100.
3. **Given data:**
- Social Sciences = 40.86%
- Sport = 0.58%
- Gender & Development Studies = 0.49%
- Engineering = 1.74%
4. **a) Probability student is in Social Sciences:**
$$P(\text{Social Sciences}) = \frac{40.86}{100} = 0.4086$$
5. **b) Probability student is in Sport, Gender & Development Studies, or Engineering:**
Sum the percentages:
$$0.58 + 0.49 + 1.74 = 2.81$$
Convert to probability:
$$P(\text{Sport or Gender & Development Studies or Engineering}) = \frac{2.81}{100} = 0.0281$$
6. **c) Probability student is NOT in Social Sciences:**
$$P(\text{Not Social Sciences}) = 1 - P(\text{Social Sciences}) = 1 - 0.4086 = 0.5914$$
**Final answers:**
- a) 0.4086
- b) 0.0281
- c) 0.5914
