Answer:

(a) The probability of the event that a student owns a stock is 0.35.

The probability of the event that a student owns a mutual fund.

(b)The probability that a student owns  neither a stocks nor mutual is  0.5.

(c)The probability that a student owns either a stocks or a mutual fund is 0.80.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability:

Let the event space S of a given random experiment E be finite. If all the simple events connected to E be 'equally likely' then the probability of event A is defined as

P(A)=\frac mn

where n is total number of sample event and  of these simple events are favorable.

Formula:

P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A∩B)

Given that,

A survey of 100 MBA students found that 75 owned mutual funds, 35 owned stocks and 15 owned both.

A = owned stocks

B= owned mutual funds

(a)

P(A)=\frac{\textrm{Number of students who owned a stock}}{\textrm{Total nuber of students}}

         =\frac{35}{100}

        =0.35

P(B)=\frac{\textrm{Number of students who owned a mutual funds}}{\textrm{Total nuber of students}}

         =\frac{75}{100}

        =0.75

The probability that a student owns a stocks=0.35.

The probability that a student owns a mutual funds=0.75.

The number of students who owned only a mutual fund

= Total number of students who owned a mutual fund - the number of students who owned both

=(75-15)

=60

The number of students who owned  only a stock

= Total number of students who owned a stock- the number of students who owned both

=(35-15)

=20

The number students who owned either a stocks or a mutual fund or both is

= The number of students who owned only a mutual fund +The number of students who owned  only a stock+the number of students who owned both

=60+20+15

=95

The number of students who owned neither a stocks nor mutual is

=100-95

=5

The probability that a student owns  neither a stocks nor mutual is

= \frac{5}{100}

=0.05

(c)

The number of students who owned either a stocks or a mutual fund is

=60+20

=80

The probability that a student owns either a stocks or a mutual fund is

=\frac{80}{100}

=0.80

Step-by-step explanation:

1) the rules are:

log_a(bc)=log_ab+log_ac;

and

log_ab^c=c*log_ab.

2) according to the rules above:

log_7(yz^8)=log_7y+8log_7z=-6.19-8*18.96=-157.87.
