Question

22. 48.6% of the North Dakota population over 18 years old is female.

Answer 1

Answer:

the probability that a randomly selected adult in North Dakota will be a female who has enrolled in

college is 32%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

48.6% of the North Dakota population over 18 years old is female

P(f) = 48.6% = 0.486

65.9% of the total population of North Dakota over 18 years old has enrolled in college at some point in their lives;

P(c) = 65.9% = 0.659

Since, these two events are independent of each other, the probability that a randomly selected adult in North Dakota will be a female who has enrolled in

college is;

P(f∩c) = P(f) × P(c) = 0.486 × 0.659 = 0.320274

P(f∩c) = 0.32

P(f∩c) = 32%

Answer 2

Answer:

32% probability that a randomly selected adult in North Dakota will be a female who has enrolled in college.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities:

48.6% probability that a randomly selected adult in North Dakota is a female.

If a randomly selected adult in North Dakota is over 18, 65.9% probability that they have enrolled in college at some point in their lives.

These events are independent.

This means that to find the probability that a randomly selected adult in North Dakota will be a female who has enrolled in college, we can just multiply these probabilities.

P = 0.486*0.659 = 0.32 = 32%

32% probability that a randomly selected adult in North Dakota will be a female who has enrolled in college.
