Question

Let’s assume the following statements are true: Historically, 75% of the five-star football recruits in the nation go to universities in the three most competitive athletic conferences. Historically, five-star recruits get full football scholarships 93% of the time, regardless of which conference they go to. If this pattern holds true for this year’s recruiting class, answer the following:
a. Based on these numbers, what is the probability that a randomly selected five-star recruit who chooses one of the best three conferences will be offered a full football scholarship?
b. What are the odds a randomly selected five-star recruit will not select a university from one of the three best conferences? Explain.
c. Explain whether these are independent or dependent events. Are they Inclusive or exclusive? Explain.

Answer 1

A. is an independent event so P(B | A ) = P(B) with the answer being 69.75%. That is all I've got so hope this helps a little.
