Answer:
(a) 0.873 (b) 0.007 (c) 0.715 (d) 0.277 (e) 1.25 and 1.09
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability that the random variable X takes the value x is given by P(X=x) = . Then,
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
(e) E(X) = np = (25)(0.05) = 1.25 and
This is an example of conditional probability because we are trying to find the probability of an event occurring GIVEN the occurrence of some other event. There is a formula for this (see image attached).
If we follow this formula, the numerator would be the probability of (A AND B) which in this case is "48% of the class passed BOTH exams." The denominator in the formula would be that "60% of the class passed ONLY THE SECOND exam."
Therefore, P(A and B) = 0.48, which is 48% expressed as a decimal and P(B)= 0.60, which is 60% expressed as a decimal. Then, you can figure out the answer by dividing.
