A = event the person got the class they wanted
B = event the person is on the honor roll
P(A) = (number who got the class they wanted)/(number total)
P(A) = 379/500
P(A) = 0.758
There's a 75.8% chance someone will get the class they want
Let's see if being on the honor roll changes the probability we just found
So we want to compute P(A | B). If it is equal to P(A), then being on the honor roll does not change P(A).
---------------
A and B = someone got the class they want and they're on the honor roll
P(A and B) = 64/500
P(A and B) = 0.128
P(B) = 144/500
P(B) = 0.288
P(A | B) = P(A and B)/P(B)
P(A | B) = 0.128/0.288
P(A | B) = 0.44 approximately
This is what you have shown in your steps. This means if we know the person is on the honor roll, then they have a 44% chance of getting the class they want.
Those on the honor roll are at a disadvantage to getting their requested class. Perhaps the thinking is that the honor roll students can handle harder or less popular teachers.
Regardless of motivations, being on the honor roll changes the probability of getting the class you want. So Alex is correct in thinking the honor roll students have a disadvantage. Everything would be fair if P(A | B) = P(A) showing that events A and B are independent. That is not the case here so the events are linked somehow.
Answer:
<u> The total amount = $175</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total amount in his bank account = x
Nick decided to take 2/5 of the money in his bank account and donate it to a local charity
So, he donates with 
If nick donated $70 to a local charity
so, 
solve for x
∴ x = 5*70/2 = 350/2 = $175
<u>So, The total amount = $175</u>
Answer: D 62 inches
Step-by-step explanation: Given area of each tray = 228 in2 inches
-10 is less than -5 because negative numbers are farther from 0. Same applies to -4 and -20.
You multiply 86 by 42.5 because each board is 42.5 and there are 86 boards.
