Answer:

the probability is 0.24 or 24%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Percentage of time he goes out with his girlfriend = 40%

Percentage of time he goes out to a bar = 60%

If he goes out with his girlfriend, the percentage of times he spends the night at his girlfriend’s apartment = 30%

If he goes out to a bar, percentage of times he gets in a fight and gets thrown in jail = 40%

let probability that the roommate went to the bar = A

 

As the roommate going to jail is a conditional probability dependent on A happening, the true probability of the roommate is found by multiplying the absolute probability of the roommate going out to a bar (A) by the probability of the roommate going to jail if he goes to a bar

that is Pr(B) =Pr (B n A)

Pr(B) = Pr(B/A) *Pr(A)

This is given as 60% * 40% or 0.6 * 0.4 (probabilities are 1/100 of percentages)

This gives an answer of 0.24 or 24%

Valentin [98]
First compute the whole number of the possibilities :
10*9=90.
Compute the number of favorable possibilities:
There is 5 even numbers. Once we pick an even number, 
we pick 5. So the number of the favorable possibilities is 5.
Now we compute the probability like this:
\frac{5}{90}
