Veronika [31]

Answer:

(a) The probability that the student made the Dean's list is 0.1655.

(b) The probability that the student came from a private high school, given that the student made the Dean's list is 0.2411.

(c) The probability that the student was not home schooled, given that the student did not make the Dean's list is 0.9185.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

Of the entering class at a college, 71% attended public high school, 21% attended private high school, and 8% were home schooled. Of those who attended public high school, 16% made the Dean's list, 19% of those who attended private high school made the Dean's list, and 15% of those who were home schooled made the Dean's list.

a) Find the probability that the student made the Dean's list.

b) Find the probability that the student came from a private high school, given that the student made the Dean's list.

c) Find the probability that the student was not home schooled, given that the student did not make the Dean's list.

Solution:

Denote the events as follows:

A = a student attended public high school

B = a student attended private high school

C = a student was home schooled

D = a student made the Dean's list

The provided information is as follows:

P (A) = 0.71

P (B) = 0.21

P (C) = 0.08

P (D|A) = 0.16

P (D|B) = 0.19

P (D|C) = 0.15

(a)

The law of total probability states that:

$P(X)=\sum\limits_{i} P(X|Y_{i})\cdot P(Y_{i})$

Compute the probability that the student made the Dean's list as follows:

$P(D)=P(D|A)P(A)+P(D|B)P(B)+P(D|C)P(C)$

$=(0.16\times 0.71)+(0.19\times 0.21)+(0.15\times 0.08)\\=0.1136+0.0399+0.012\\=0.1655$

Thus, the probability that the student made the Dean's list is 0.1655.

(b)

Compute the probability that the student came from a private high school, given that the student made the Dean's list as follows:

$P(B|D)=\frac{P(D|B)P(B)}{P(D)}$

$=\frac{0.21\times 0.19}{0.1655}\\\\=0.2410876\\\\\approx 0.2411$

Thus, the probability that the student came from a private high school, given that the student made the Dean's list is 0.2411.

(c)

Compute the probability that the student was not home schooled, given that the student did not make the Dean's list as follows:

$P(C^{c}|D^{c})=1-P(C|D^{c})$

$=1-\frac{P(D^{c}|C)P(C)}{P(D^{c})}\\\\=1-\frac{(1-P(D|C))\times P(C)}{1-P(D)}\\\\=1-\frac{(1-0.15)\times 0.08}{(1-0.1655)}\\\\=1-0.0815\\\\=0.9185$

Thus, the probability that the student was not home schooled, given that the student did not make the Dean's list is 0.9185.

Rhode Island has a population of about 60,000 8th graders in the state. New Jersey has a total of 920,000 8th graders. Calculate

seropon [69]

Answer:

8.6 × 10^5

Step-by-step explanation:

New Jersey 8th graders = 920,000

Rhode island 8th graders = 60,000

Difference in Rhode island 8th graders and New Jersey 8th graders population

= 920,000 - 60,000

= 860,000

Answer in scientific notation

860,000

The decimal point will move 5 places in

= 8.6 × 10^5
