Answer:

20.43% probability that a randomly chosen graduate from these 300 graduated with honors given that neither parent graduated from college.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

Graduated with honors:

98 students graduated with honors. Of those, 79 had at least one parent graduating from college. So 98 - 79 = 19 did not.

Of 300 students, 207 had one or both parents graduate from college. So 300 - 207 = 93 did not have at least one parent graduating.

Find the probability that a randomly chosen graduate from these 300 graduated with honors given that neither parent graduated from college.

Of the 93 with no graduated parent, 19 earned honors

19/93 = 0.2043

20.43% probability that a randomly chosen graduate from these 300 graduated with honors given that neither parent graduated from college.

You ask a neighbor to water a sickly plant while you are on vacation. Without water the plant will die with probability 0.7. Wit
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

0.2416

Step-by-step explanation:

P(forgot to water | dead) = P(forgot and dead) / P(dead)  

->With water it will die with probability 0.45

P(watered and dead) =0.83 x 0.45 = 0.3735

->Without water the plant will die with probability 0.7

P(forgot and dead) = (1-0.83) x 0.7 => 0.17 x 0.7 =>0.119

P(dead) =  P(watered and dead) +P(forgot and dead)

P(dead) = 0.3735 + 0.119= 0.4925

P(forgot to water | dead) =0.119 / 0.4925= 0.2416

Therefore, the probability the neighbor forgot to water the plant is 0.2416
