Answer:
The probability that a student will go to graduate school and take loans to pay for their undergraduate education is P=0.111.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that:
- The probability that a student will take loans to pay for their undergraduate education is 0.85
.
- The probability that a student goes to graduate school, <em>given that the student took loans to pay for their undergraduate education,</em> is 0.13.
What is the probability that a student will go to graduate school and take loans to pay for their undergraduate education?
Out of the population of students, a proportion of 0.85 takes loans for undergraduate studies. Out of this, a proportion of 0.13 goes to graduate school.
This probability can then be calculated as:

A grow from 13.1 millions to 14.4 millions means to grow
millions. So, the question is: which percentage of 13.1 is 1.3? Well, we have to find a number x such that
Solving for x, you have
Exercise 5
27% is a bit more than 25%, which is a quarter. So, we expect to find a pie chart with one slice occupying roughly one quarter of the pie. The example that best suits this requirement is B (A is almost half, and C is less than one quarter).
