Answer:
a) 67.6% of students is expected to pass the course
b) 0.9112 = 91.12% probability that he/she attended classes on Fridays
Step-by-step explanation:
Conditional Probability
We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is
In which
P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.
is the probability of both A and B happening.
P(A) is the probability of A happening.
a. What percentage of students is expected to pass the course?
88% of 70%(attended class)
20% of 100 - 70 = 30%(did not attend class). So
0.676*100% = 67.6%
67.6% of students is expected to pass the course.
b. Given that a person passes the course, what is the probability that he/she attended classes on Fridays?
Here, we use conditional probability:
Event A: Passed the course
Event B: Attended classes on Fridays.
67.6% of students is expected to pass the course.
This means that
Probability that passed and attended classes on Friday.
88% of 70%
This means that:
Then
0.9112 = 91.12% probability that he/she attended classes on Fridays
