Answer:
(a) Probability that a randomly selected student is taking Spanish given that he or she is taking French = 0.5 .
(b) Probability that a randomly selected student is not taking French given that he or she is not taking Spanish = 0.6 .
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that an elementary school is offering 2 language classes ;
<em>Spanish Language is denoted by S and French language is denoted by F.</em>
Also we are given, P(S) = 0.5 {Probability of students taking Spanish language}
P(F) = 0.4 {Probability of students taking French language}
= 0.7 {Probability of students taking Spanish or French Language}
<em>We know that, </em><em> = </em>
<em> </em>
<em />
So, =
= 0.5 + 0.4 - 0.7 = 0.2
means Probability of students taking both Spanish and French Language.
Also, P(S)' = 1 - P(S) = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5
P(F)' = 1 - P(F) = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6
= 1 -
= 1 - 0.7 = 0.3
(a) Probability that a randomly selected student is taking Spanish given that he or she is taking French is given by P(S/F);
P(S/F) = =
= 0.5
(b) Probability that a randomly selected student is not taking French given that he or she is not taking Spanish is given by P(F'/S');
P(F'/S') = =
=
= 0.6 .
