University degree requirements typically are different for Bachelor of Science degrees and Bachelor of Arts degrees. Some studen

ts get a Bachelor of Arts and Science degree, which requires meeting graduation criteria for both degrees. A student advisor needs to know the probability a newly admitted student is interested in such a program, so that the student can be properly advised. A study of previous years finds that the probability a student gets a Bachelor of Science degree is P(Science)=0.3 and the probability a student gets a Bachelor of Arts degree is P(Arts)=0.6 . The study also shows that the probability a student gets no degree is P(no)=0.2 .
A - The probability a student gets a Bachelor of Arts and Science degree is:
a) 0.3.
b) 0.6.
c) 0.1.
d) 0.2.
B - The probability a student gets a Bachelor of Arts degree or a Bachelor of Science degree is:
a)0.9.
b) 0.3.
c) 0.6.
d) 0.8.
C - The probability a student gets only a Bachelor of Arts degree is:
a) 0.1.

Answer:

A. 0.1

B. 0.8

C. 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

P(Science) = 0.3

P(Arts) = 0.6

P(none) = 0.2

From the above, it is understood that the events are independently events; meaning that the probability that a students gets a Bachelor of Science degree does not affect the probability of the same student getting a Bachelor of Arts degree.

A. The probability that a student gets a Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Arts degree

Let P(Arts and Science) = the probability that a student gets a Bachelor of Arts degree and Bachelor of Science degree

For independent events,

P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B) + P(none)= 1

If we translate the above formula to suit our needs, we have something like this

P(Science) + P(Arts) - P(Arts and Science) + P(none) = 1

Or

P(Arts) + P(Science) - P(Arts and Science) + P(none) = 1

From this, we have

0.3 + 0.6 - P(Arts and Science) + 0.2 = 1

1.1 - P(Arts and Science) = 1

-P(Arts and Science) = 1 - 1.1

-P(Arts and Science) = -0.1

P(Arts and Science) = 0.1

B. The probability that a student gets a Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts degree

For independent events

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)

So, P(Arts or Science) = P(Arts) + P(Science) - P(Arts and Science)

P(Arts or Science) = 0.3 + 0.6 - 0.1

P(Arts or Science) = 0.8

C. The probability that a student gets only Bachelor of Arts

P(A only) = P(A) - P(A and B)

P(Arts) = P(Arts) - P(Arts and Science)

P(Arts) = 0.6 - 0.1

P(Arts) = 0.5

A golfer wants to determine if the type of driver she uses each year can be used to predict the amount of improvement in her gam
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

The type of driver

Step-by-step explanation:

The term known as '' response variable'' is use in describing a variable that changes when you alter an examination or a test. Just like its name implies, it is the ''response'' that one gets when the other variable that is the Explanatory Variable are being altered.

In this question, the golfer will have to be changing the type of drivers that she is using in order to be able to know whether these changes in drivers will increase her game performance. Hence, the Explanatory Variable is the type of driver in which the golfer changes which is being use to define the performance of the golfer.
