Thomas wants to invite Madeline to a party. He has an 80% chance of bumping into her at school. Otherwise, he’ll call her on the

phone. If he talks to her at school, he’s 90% likely to ask her to a party. However, he’s only 60% likely to ask her over the phone. What is the probability of Thomas inviting Madeline to the party at school?

Answer:

84%

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of Thomas bumping into her at school is 80%, so the probability of not bumping into her is 100% - 80% = 20%.

If he doesn't bump into her (20% chance), he will call her, and the probability of asking her in this case is 60%, so the final probability of asking her in this case is:

P_1 = 20\% * 60\% = 12\%

If he bumps into her (80% chance), the probability of asking her is 90%, so the final probability of asking her in this case is:

P_2 = 80\% * 90\% = 72\%

To find the probability of Thomas inviting Madeline to the party, we just have to sum the probabilities we found above:

P = P_1 + P_2

P = 12\% + 72\% = 84\%

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sample data

Pre-test... 12 14 11 12 13

Post-Test 15 17 11 13 12

The mean of pre-test

x = ΣX / n

x = (12+14+11+12+13) / 5

x = 12.4

The standard deviation of pre-test

S.D = √Σ(X-x)² / n

S.D = √[(12-12.4)²+(14-12.4)²+(11-12.4)²+(12-12.4)²+(13-12.4)² / 5]

S.D = √(5.2 / 5)

S.D = 1.02.

The mean of post-test

x' = ΣX / n

x' = (15+17+11+13+12) / 5

x' = 13.6

The standard deviation of post-test

S.D' = √Σ(X-x)² / n

S.D' = √[(15-13.6)²+(17-13.6)²+(11-13.6)²+(13-13.6)²+(12-13.6)² / 5]

S.D = √(23.2 / 5)

S.D = 2.15

Test value

t = (sample difference − hypothesized difference) / standard error of the difference

t = [(x-x') - (μ- μ')] / (S.D / n — S.D'/n)

t = (12.4-13.6) - (μ-μ')/ (1.02/5 - 2.15/5)

-1.5 = -1.2 - (μ-μ') / -0.226

-1.5 × -0.226 = -1.2 -(μ-μ')

​0.339 = -1.2 - (μ-μ')

(μ-μ') = -1.2 -0.339

μ-μ' = -1.539

Then, μ ≠ μ'

We can calculate our P-value using table.

This is a two-sided test, so the P-value is the combined area in both scores.

The p-value is 0.172

The p value > 0.1
