Find P (Junior|Girl) Hint: P(A and B)

Mathematics

<h3>Answer:  1/6</h3>

====================================================

Explanation:

There are two methods to approach this type of problem.

-------------------------------------

Method 1

A = junior

B = girl

P(A) = probability of selecting a junior

P(B) = probability of selecting a girl

P(B) = (number of girls)/(number total)

P(B) = (4+7+3+4)/(4+4+5+7+2+3+1+4)

P(B) = 18/30

P(B) = 9/15

P(A and B) = probability of selecting a girl who is a junior

P(A and B) = (number of girl juniors)/(number total)

P(A and B) = 3/30

P(A and B) = 1/10

P(A given B) = P(A and B)/P(B)

P(A given B) = (1/10) divided by (9/15)

P(A given B) = (1/10) times (15/9)

P(A given B) = (1*15)/(10*9)

P(A given B) = 15/90

P(A given B) = 1/6

-------------------------------------

Method 2

This method doesn't involve dividing two fractions which could get messy, which is why I find this the easier route. Since we are given the person is a girl, this means we only need to focus on the "girls" column. There are 3 who are juniors out of 4+7+3+4 = 18 total. The probability of selecting a girl junior is 3/18 = 1/6

What characteristics lead to a downward sloping demand curve?
Makovka662 [10]
In economics, the downward sloping demand curve is used to illustrate the law of diminishing marginal utility. This means that if more of the product is consumed, the marginal benefit to the consumer falls. This is also the instance in which the consumers are willing to pay less than the original amount for the same product.
