Question
Explanation / Answer
question 16)
number of freshmen = 12 in which 7 are male and 5 are female
number of sophomores =8 in wich 7 are female and 1 is male
The probability that student selected is sophomores = 8 /(8+12) = 8 /20 = 0.4
The probability that student selected is female = (7+5) /20 =12 / 20 = 0.6
The probability that student selected is sophomores and female = 7/ 20 = 0.35
The probability that student selected is sophomores or female = The probability that student selected is sophomores + The probability that student selected is female - The probability that student selected is sophomores and female
The probability that student selected is sophomores or female = 0.4 +0.6 - 0.35 = 0.65
Question17)
number of freshmen = 12 in which 7 are male and 5 are female
number of sophomores =8 in wich 7 are female and 1 is male
The probability that student selected is a freshman given that student is male = The probability that student selected is a freshman and The probability that student selected is a male / The probability that student selected is a male
The probability that student selected is a freshman given that student is male = (7/20) / (8/20)
The probability that student selected is a freshman given that student is male = 0.875
