Question

At a state university on the west coast, 13% of undergraduate students are of Asian origin. Among students of Asian origin, 11% major in Humanities, 7% in Social Sciences, 31% in Biological and Physical Sciences, 36% in engineering, and the remaining 15% in Business. Among students of other ethnicities, 19% major in Humanities, 16% in Social Sciences, 12% in Biological and Physical Sciences, 18% in engineering, and the remaining 35% in Business. One undergraduate student majoring in Engineering is randomly selected from this university. Find the probability that the chosen engineering student is of Asian origin.

(I got 0.2034 as an answer last time, and it was wrong, I don't understand what I did wrong.)

Explanation / Answer

P(Asian and Engg) = P(Asian) * P(Engg | Asian)

= .13 * .36
= .0468

IF YOU FIND "One undergraduate student is randomly selected from this university. Find the probability that the student is majoring in Engineering." THEN THE ANSWER WILL BE 0.2034
