at 56% of the respondents voted in favor of Scott Walker. Additionally, they estimated that of those who did vote in favor for Scott Walker, 36% had a college degree, while 43% of those who voted against Scott Walker had a college degree. Suppose we randomly sampled a person who participated in the exit poll and found that he had a college degree. What is the probability that he voted in favor of Scott Walker?

Answer: Our required probability is 0.515.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Probability that the respondents voted in favor of Scot Walker P(F) = 56%

Probability that the respondent voted in not favor of Scot Walker = 100-56 = P(F')=44%

Probability of those who did vote in favor had a college degree = 36% = P(C|F)

Probability of those who did vote against had a college degree = 44% = P(C|F')

So, we will use "Conditional Probability":

probability that he voted in favor of Scott Walker given that they had a college degree is given by

P(F|C)=\dfrac{0.56\times 0.36}{0.56\times 0.36+0.44\times 0.43}\\\\P(F|C)=0.515

Hence, our required probability is 0.515.

Question
Mashutka [201]

The equivalent value of given the expression is -17.25. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

<h3>What is an equivalent expression?</h3>

Equivalent expressions are expressions that work the same even though they look different. If two algebraic expressions are equivalent, then the two expressions have the same value when we plug in the same value for the variable.

The given expression is -14-8×0.5+0.75.

Now, -14-8×0.5+0.75

= -14-(8×0.5)+0.75

= -14-4+0.75

= -18+0.75

= -17.25

The equivalent value of given the expression is -17.25. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
