Answer:

A student is chosen at random and is found to be a girl, the probability that the student scored an A is 0.5865 or 58.65%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A class consists of 55% boys and 45% girls. It is observed that 25% of the class are boys and scored an A on the test, and 35% of the class are girls and scored an A on the test.

To find : If a student is chosen at random and is found to be a girl, the probability that the student scored an A is ?

Solution :  

Let B be event to choose boys and G be event to choose girls.

Let E be event to scored grade A.

We have given,

P(B)=55%=0.55

P(G)=45%=0.45

25% of the class are boys and scored an A on the test

P(E/B)=\dfrac{P(E\cap B)}{P(B)}=\frac{0.25}{0.55}=0.45

35% of the class are girls and scored an A on the test

P(E/G)=\dfrac{P(E\cap G)}{P(B)}=\frac{0.35}{0.45}=0.78

Using Baye's Theorem of probability

If a student is chosen at random and is found to be a girl, the probability that the student scored an A.

P(G/E)=\dfrac{P(E/G)\times P(G)}{P(E/G)\times P(G)+P(E/B)\times P(B)}

P(G/E)=\dfrac{0.78\times 0.45}{0.78\times 0.45+0.45\times 0.55}

P(G/E)=0.5865

P(G/E)=58.65\%

Therefore, A student is chosen at random and is found to be a girl, the probability that the student scored an A is 0.5865 or 58.65%

********PLEASE HELP ****** DVD players are going out of fashion in the modern era. If 400,000 DVD players were sold this year an
abruzzese [7]
So 400,000 DVD sales with a 31% decline means in the 1st year following, there will be a decline of 124,000 DVDs sold. So we need to take 400,000 - 124,000, which equals a starting point for year two is 276,000 DVDs.

So a 31% decline on 276,000 = 85,560. So we need to subtract that from 85,560 from 276,000 which is 190,440. So at the end of the second year, DVD sales were only 190,440.  That's also out starting point of the 3rd year. 

So 31% of 190,440 equals 59,036.4 for the third year of DVD sales. So we need to subtract 59,036.4 from out third year starting point of 190,440, which equals 131,403.6, but since you can't have parts of DVDs, we'll round the decimal point fraction to a whole number to end up with 131,404 DVDs sold in year three.

So after three years of a 31% yearly decline in DVD sales you end up with DVD sales are 131,404
