The correct proportion can be written in two ways:

one way . . . . . $10.30/10 = x/2

other way . . . . 10/$10.30 = 2/x

(Of course, the left side and right side can be swapped too.)

Neither of these equations appears on the list, so
the correct choice appears to be "none of the above". (e)

Answer:

37.21% probability that the person is a statistician.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities:

An 80% probability that a statistican is shy.

A 15% probability that an economist is shy.

At the gathering, a 90% probability that a person is an economist.

At the gathering, a 10% probability that a person is a statistican.

If you meet a shy person at random at the gathering. What is the probability that the person is a statistician?

This can be formulated as the following question:

What is the probability of B happening, knowing that A has happened.

It can be calculated by the following formula

$P = \frac{P(B).P(A/B)}{P(A)}$

Where P(B) is the probability of B happening, P(A/B) is the probability of A happening knowing that B happened and P(A) is the probability of A happening.

What is the probability that the person is a statistican, given that he is shy?

P(B) is the probability of the person being a statistican. So P(B) = 0.1.

P(A/B) is the probability of a statistican being shy, so P(A/B) = 0.8.

P(A) is the probability of a person being a shy. This is 15% of 90%(economists) and 80% of 10%(statisticans). So

$P(A) = 0.15*0.9 + 0.8*0.1 = 0.215$
