Answer:

(a) The probability that the student made the​ Dean's list is 0.1655.

(b) The probability that the student came from a private high school, given that the student made the Dean's list is 0.2411.

(c) The probability that the student was not home schooled, given that the student did not make the Dean's list is 0.9185.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

Of the entering class at a college, 71% attended public high school, 21% attended private high school, and 8% were home schooled. Of those who attended public high school, 16% made the Dean's list, 19% of those who attended private high school made the Dean's list, and 15% of those who were home schooled made the Dean's list.

a) Find the probability that the student made the Dean's list.

b) Find the probability that the student came from a private high school, given that the student made the Dean's list.

c) Find the probability that the student was not home schooled, given that the student did not make the Dean's list.

Solution:

Denote the events as follows:

<em>A</em> = a student attended public high school

<em>B</em> = a student attended private high school

<em>C</em> = a student was home schooled

<em>D</em> = a student made the Dean's list

The provided information is as follows:

P (A) = 0.71

P (B) = 0.21

P (C) = 0.08

P (D|A) = 0.16

P (D|B) = 0.19

P (D|C) = 0.15

(a)

The law of total probability states that:

P(X)=\sum\limits_{i} P(X|Y_{i})\cdot P(Y_{i})

Compute the probability that the student made the​ Dean's list as follows:

P(D)=P(D|A)P(A)+P(D|B)P(B)+P(D|C)P(C)

         =(0.16\times 0.71)+(0.19\times 0.21)+(0.15\times 0.08)\\=0.1136+0.0399+0.012\\=0.1655

Thus, the probability that the student made the​ Dean's list is 0.1655.

(b)

Compute the probability that the student came from a private high school, given that the student made the Dean's list as follows:

P(B|D)=\frac{P(D|B)P(B)}{P(D)}

             =\frac{0.21\times 0.19}{0.1655}\\\\=0.2410876\\\\\approx 0.2411

Thus, the probability that the student came from a private high school, given that the student made the Dean's list is 0.2411.

(c)

Compute the probability that the student was not home schooled, given that the student did not make the Dean's list as follows:

P(C^{c}|D^{c})=1-P(C|D^{c})

               =1-\frac{P(D^{c}|C)P(C)}{P(D^{c})}\\\\=1-\frac{(1-P(D|C))\times P(C)}{1-P(D)}\\\\=1-\frac{(1-0.15)\times 0.08}{(1-0.1655)}\\\\=1-0.0815\\\\=0.9185

Thus, the probability that the student was not home schooled, given that the student did not make the Dean's list is 0.9185.

Jeremy swims for 5 3/5 kilometers in a 7 Day period. she swims the same distance each day. what distance does he swim in each da
disa [49]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You turn 5 3/5 into an improper fraction, to do that you do 5 x 5 = 25 then 25 + 3 = 28/5

so in a 7 day period she swims 5.6 kilometers. So you have to do 5.6/7 = 0.8

So it would be 0.8 kilometers in a day which is 4/5 kilometers so I don't know if the answers were just wrong?

Jean can pack 5 cartons in 15 minutes. Which expression can be used to show the number of cartons Jean can pack in x hours? Grou
nadezda [96]

Answer: 20x

Step-by-step explanation:

First we should note that 60 minutes = 1 hour. Therefore, 15 minutes = 15/60 = 1/4 hour

Since Jean can pack 5 cartons in 1/4 hours, the number of carton that he can pack in one hour will be:

= 5 ÷ 1/4

= 5 × 4

= 20 cartons.

Therefore, to get the number of cartons that Jean can pack in x hours, we will multiply 20 by x. This will be:

= 20 × x

= 20x
