Answer:

0.6154 = 61.54% probability that the student is an undergraduate

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

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

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

P(A \cap B) is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Foreign

Event B: Undergraduate.

There are four times as many undergraduates as graduate students

So 4/5 = 80% are undergraduate students and 1/5 = 20% are graduate students.

Probability the student is foreign:

10% of 80%

25% of 20%. So

P(A) = 0.1*0.8 + 0.25*0.2 = 0.13

Probability that a student is foreign and undergraduate:

10% of 80%. So

P(A \cap B) = 0.1*0.8 = 0.08

What is the probability that the student is an undergraduate?

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.08}{0.13} = 0.6154

0.6154 = 61.54% probability that the student is an undergraduate

I will show you how to do the first one.....we are finding the GCF...the largest number that goes into each number (same for variables)

1.)  20yx , 80x³  ( factor each number and variable)

20  =  2, 4, 5, 10, 20
y    =  y
x     =  x
80  =  2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 40, 80
x³  =  x, x, x

what is the largest number that 20 and 80 have in common?    20...
how about the variables?    x

so, the Greatest Common Factor (GCF is 20x)
