Answer:

0.3478

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

- The number of sophomore, S = 150

- The sophomore and had summer internship, x = 80

- The number of juniors, J = 200

- The junior and had summer internship, y = 150

Find:-

What is the probability that the person is a sophomore given that the person had a summer internship?

Solution:-

- The total sum of sophomore and junior students is N:

                         N = S + J

                         N = 150 + 200

                         N = 350 students.

- We will denote event A as random selection of sophomore from total.

- We will denote event B as random selection of student who had summer internship.

- We are to determine the conditional probability that a person selected is sophomore given that the person had a summer internship. That is the probability of event A given that event B has already occured.

- The conditional probability can be written as:

                        P ( A / B ) = P ( A & B ) / P ( B )

Where,

        P ( A & B ) : The probability the person is a sophomore and had a summer internship.

        P ( B ): The probability that the person selected had a summer internship.

                      P ( A & B ) = x / N

                                        = 80 / 350

                                        = 0.22857143

                     P ( B ) = ( x + y ) / N

                               = ( 80 + 150 ) / 350 = 230/350

                               = 0.65714286

Therefore the required probability is:

           

                     P ( A / B ) = 0.22857143 / 0.65714286

                                      = 0.3478  ... Answer

Let's plug in (18,10) into each answer choice until we find the one that has it as a solution.

A) 2x - y = 26
2(18) - 10 = 26
36 - 10 = 26
26 = 26

Your answer is A.

I'll just do the rest to show that you the they are incorrect.

B) x + y = 18
18 + 10 = 18
28 ≠ 18

C) 2x - 2y = 36
2(18) - 2(10) = 36
36 - 20 = 36
16 ≠ 36

D) x - y = -28
18 - 10 = -28
8 ≠ -28


Your answer is A) 2x - y = 26.

What is the sum?
BaLLatris [955]
4(x + 6)
4 × x = 4x
4 × 6 = 24

3(3x + 4)
3 × 3x = 9x
3 × 4 = 12

9x + 4x = 13x
12 + 24 = 36

So your answer is B) 13x + 36. I hope this helps!
