This is an example of conditional probability because we are trying to find the probability of an event occurring GIVEN the occurrence of some other event. There is a formula for this (see image attached). 
If we follow this formula, the numerator would be the probability of (A AND B)  which in this case is "48% of the class passed BOTH exams." The denominator in the formula would be that "60% of the class passed ONLY THE SECOND exam." 
Therefore, P(A and B) = 0.48, which is 48% expressed as a decimal and P(B)= 0.60, which is 60% expressed as a decimal. Then, you can figure out the answer by dividing.

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

the closest part the mechanic can chose is 0.5 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

fractional sizes given to the nearest 64th of an inch = 1/64 = 0.0156

the closest size to 0.492in = 0.492 + 0.0156 = 0.5076 inches

approximately, the closest part the mechanic can chose is 0.5 inch
