From past results, the testing service has established that 70% of all applicants are eligible for admission and that 89% of those who are eligible for admission pass the exam, whereas 14% of those who are ineligible for admission pass the exam. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

Answer:

Probability of eligible applicants who pass the exam is 0.665

probability of applicants who are ineligible but pass the exam 0.063

Step-by-step explanation:

Total percentage eligible applicants who pass the exam

\textrm {89\%  of 70\%}= \dfrac{89\times70}{100}=62.3\%

Total  ineligible applicants  who pass the exam

\textrm {14\%  of 30\%}= \dfrac{14\times30}{100}=4.2\%

All applicants who pass this exam 62.3% + 4.2% = 66.5%

Probability of applicants who pass the exam

\textrm{probability }= \dfrac{66.5}{100}=0.665

Out of 66.5% applicants who pass the exam , 4.2% applicants are ineligible

\textrm{so the probability is}\dfrac{4.2}{66.5}=0.063

Probability of applicants who pass the exam is 0.665

probability of applicants who are ineligible but pass the exam 0.063
