According to a recent study, 9.3% of high school dropouts are 16- to 17-year-olds. In addition, 6.4% of high school dropou

Finger [1]

Answer:

0.688 or 68.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage of high school dropouts = P(D) = 9.3% = 0.093

Percentage of high school dropouts who are white = $P(D \cap W)$ = 6.4% = 0.064

We need to find the probability that a randomly selected dropout is white, given that he or she is 16 to 17 years old. This is conditional probability which can be expressed as: P(W | D)

Using the formula of conditional probability, we ca write:

$P(W | D)=\frac{P(W \cap D)}{P(D)}$

Using the values, we get:

P( W | D) = $\frac{0.064}{0.093} = 0.688$

Therefore, the probability that a randomly selected dropout is white, given that he or she is 16 to 17 years old is 0.688 or 68.8%

A tennis shop sold twenty $100 racquets at an 8% profit and ten $80 bags at a 15% loss. The profit on the combined transaction w

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

So first let me assume that the Total profit of the racquets are 8 percentage and not individually.

Now to find the profit we can do

20 x 100= 2000

Now
8=x/2000*100
X= 160

And now for loss
10x80=800

Now

15= x/800*100
X=120

Now profit =

160-120 = 40

The profit was only 40
