Question

20% of students in a class go to professor during office hours. of those who go 30% seek minor clarification. 70% seek major clarification. a) what is the probability a student goes for minor clarification? b) what is the probability a student goes for major clarification?

Answer 1

a. The probability that a student goes to seek for minor clarification from the professor during office hours = 6%.

b. The probability that a student goes to the professor for major clarification = 14%.

Data and Calculations:

Percentage of students in the class who go to the professor to seek clarifications = 20% (a)

Percentage of students in the class who do not go to the professor to seek clarifications = 80% (100% - 20%) (b)

Percentage of (a) who seek minor clarification = 30%

Percentage of (a) who seek major clarification = 70%

Probability of (a) seeking minor clarification = 6% (20% x 30%)

Probability of (a) seeking major clarification = 14% (20% x 70%)

Thus, the probability of students seeking minor clarification is 6% while the probability of students seeking major clarification is 14%.
