Answer:

The probability that the student is blond and chosen be men is 65%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A class consists of 60% men and 40% women. Blonde men compose 25% of the class, and blond women make up 20% of the class. If a student is chosen at random and is found to be a male.

To find : What is the probability that the student is blond?

Solution :  

Let the probability of men is 60% P(M)=0.6

The probability of women is 40% P(W)=0.4

Let B is the person blonde makeup.

The probability of blonde men is 25% P(B/M)=0.25

The probability of blonde women is 20% P(B/W)=0.20

We have to find the probability that the student is blonde and choosen is men i.e. P(M/B)

Applying Baye's Theorem,

P(M/B)=\frac{P(B/M)\times P(M)}{P(B/M)\times P(M)+P(B/W)\times P(W)}

P(M/B)=\frac{0.25\times 0.6}{0.25\times 0.6+0.20\times 0.4}

P(M/B)=\frac{0.15}{0.15+0.08}

P(M/B)=\frac{0.15}{0.23}

P(M/B)=0.65

Therefore, The probability that the student is blond and chosen be men is 65%.

John’s gross pay for the week is $500. He pays 1.45 percent in Medicare tax, 6.2 percent in Social Security tax, 2 percent in st
olchik [2.2K]
Gross pay = 500

deductions :
medicare tax : 0.0145(500) = 7.25
S.S tax : 0.062(500) = 31.00
sales tax : 0.02(500) = 10.00
income tax : 0.2(500) = 100
insurance = 20
total deductions : 7.25 + 31 + 10 + 100 + 20 = 168.25

gross pay - deductions = net pay
500 - 168.25 = net pay
331.75 = net pay <===
