To determine the probability that both people chosen are females, we will use the rule of multiplication. 
Let event A = the event that the first person chosen is female; and let B = the event that the second person is female. 
To start, it is given that there are 10 students, 5 of them are females.  Therefore, P(A) = 5/10
After the first selection, there are 9 students, 4 of them are females. Therefore, P(A|B) = 4/9
Based on the rule of multiplication:

P(A∩B) = P(A) * P(A|B)
P(A∩B) = (5/10) (4/9)
P(A∩B) = 20/90
P(A∩B) = 2/9

The probability that both people chosen are females is 2/9.

pychu [463]
The first answer



Step by step

His first year costs $8,000
So our total amount to start with is $8,000

His second year will cost 12% more than his first so $8,000 • 1.12 = $8,960
Our total is now $16,960

His third year will again will be 12% more than his last year so $8,960 • 1.12 = 10,035.2
Our total is now $26,995.2

His last year will be 12% more than his previous year so $10,035.2 • 1.12 = $11,239.42
Our final total is $38,234.62
Which rounded equals $38,235
