Answer:

= 0.3478  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

- The number of sophomore, S = 150

- The sophomore and had summer internship, x = 80

- The number of juniors, J = 200

- The junior and had summer internship, y = 150

Find:-

What is the probability that the person is a sophomore given that the person had a summer internship?

Solution:-

- The total sum of sophomore and junior students is N:

                        N = S + J

                        N = 150 + 200

                        N = 350 students.

- We will denote event A as random selection of sophomore from total.

- We will denote event B as random selection of student who had summer internship.

- We are to determine the conditional probability that a person selected is sophomore given that the person had a summer internship. That is the probability of event A given that event B has already occured.

- The conditional probability can be written as:

                       P ( A / B ) = P ( A & B ) / P ( B )

Where,

       P ( A & B ) : The probability the person is a sophomore and had a summer internship.

       P ( B ): The probability that the person selected had a summer internship.

                     P ( A & B ) = x / N

                                       = 80 / 350

                                       = 0.22857143

                    P ( B ) = ( x + y ) / N

                              = ( 80 + 150 ) / 350 = 230/350

                              = 0.65714286

Therefore the required probability is:

         

                    P ( A / B ) = 0.22857143 / 0.65714286

                                     = 0.3478  ... Answer
