Question

6. If 2 different study subjects are randomly selected, find the probability that they both were sentenced to prison.

Answer 1

Answer:

the  probability that they both were sentenced to prison is 0.1740

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the probability is given below;

P(sentenced) is

= (367 + 68) ÷ 1043

= 0.4171.

Now

P(2 persons senteced to prison) is

= 0.4171 × 0.4171

= 0.1740

hence, the  probability that they both were sentenced to prison is 0.1740

The same is to be considered and relevant too
