Answer:

P(B)= 17/20

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The audience of the magic show is conformed by a total of 120 people, 52 of which are female and 68 are men.

Within the audience there is a school class of 37, of these students, 17 are female and 20 are male.

If a random member of the audience is selected as a volunteer:

Let "A" represent the event that "the selected volunteer is a student of the class"

And "B" the event that "the selected student is female"

You have to calculate the probability of the selected volunteer being female, given that it is a member of the school class.

Symbolically:

P(B|A)

Using the formula of conditional probabilities you can calculate it as:

P(B|A)= \frac{P(AnB)}{P(A)}

P(A∩B)= P(A)*P(B)= (\frac{37}{120} )*(\frac{17}{20} )= \frac{629}{2400}= 0.26

P(A)= \frac{37}{120} = 0.308

P(B|A)= \frac{P(AnB)}{P(A)}= \frac{629/2400}{37/120} = \frac{17}{20} = 0.85

As you can see the probability of the event "The volunteer is female given that it was a student of the school class" means that you already know the selected volunteer was a student and only needed to calculate the probability of that student being female.

P(B)= 17/20

I hope this helps!

Divide the sum of 3/8 and -5/12 by the reciprocal of 16/27 x(-15)/8
Travka [436]

Answer:

First find the sum of 3/8 and -5/12

That is

3/8 - 5/12

First find the common denominator

The common denominator is 24

We get

3/8 - 5/12 = 3(3) - 5(2) / 24

= 9 - 10 / 24

= - 1 / 24

Next find the product of 16/27 x(-15)/8

That's

16/27 × -15/8

= -10/9

Next reverse -10/9

Which is -9/10

Next we divide it by = -1 /24

so we get

-1/24 ÷ -9/10

Change the sign to (×) and reverse the second fraction

We get

-1/24 × -10/9

= 5 / 108

Hope this helps
