Answer:

The probability that the selected person is a woman engineering major is 0.0396.

Step-by-step explanation:

The proportion of students at the university who are women is 0.42.

<em>P (W) = 0.42</em>

The proportion of students at the university who are engineering majors is 0.18.

<em>P (E) = 0.18</em>

The proportion of engineering majors that are women is 0.22.

<em>P (W|E) = 0.22</em>

The proportion of students at the university that are woman and engineering major is:

P (W|E)=\frac{P(W\cap E)}{P(E)} \\P(W\cap E)=P(W|E)\times P(E)\\= 0.18\times0.22\\=0.0396

Thus, the probability that the selected person is a woman engineering major is 0.0396.

yan [13]

What we're ultimately asking here is how many times 6 goes into 324. The problem becomes a little simpler if we break 324 up into numbers that are easier to work with. 324 = 300 + 24; 6 goes into 300 50 times and 24 4 times, so 6 goes into 324 a total of 50 + 4 = 54 times.

So, the prize-winning pumpkin weighs 54 times as much.
