Answer:
0.688 or 68.8%
Step-by-step explanation:
Percentage of high school dropouts = P(D) = 9.3% = 0.093
Percentage of high school dropouts who are white = = 6.4% = 0.064
We need to find the probability that a randomly selected dropout is white, given that he or she is 16 to 17 years old. This is conditional probability which can be expressed as: P(W | D)
Using the formula of conditional probability, we ca write:
Using the values, we get:
P( W | D) =
Therefore, the probability that a randomly selected dropout is white, given that he or she is 16 to 17 years old is 0.688 or 68.8%
