Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming this problem :"Only 30% of the students in a certain liberal arts college are males. If two students from this college are selected at random, what is the probability that they are both males?"
Previous concepts
An independent event is an "event that has no connection to another event's chances of happening ". For this case we can assume that if one person is male and if we select another one the probability that this one would be male or female is totally indepedent from the first selection.
When we have two independent events let's say A and B and we want to find the probability that both events occurs at the same time we can use the following formula:
Solution to the problem
We can define some notation:
first person selected is a male
second person selected is male
On this case we want the probability that both would be males. And we can express this like this on math terms:
For this case we can assume that the two events are independent. And in order to find the probability for two events independents events we just need to multiply the probabilities of each one like this:
Answer and explanation:
Given : A driving exam consists of 29 multiple-choice questions. Each of the 29 answers is either right or wrong. Suppose the probability that a student makes fewer than 6 mistakes on the exam is 0.26 and that the probability that a student makes from 6 to 20 (inclusive) mistakes is 0.53.
Let X be the number of mistake
To find : The probability of each of the following outcomes.
a) A student makes more than 20 mistakes
i.e.
b. A student makes 6 or more mistakes
i.e.
c. A student makes at most 20 mistakes
i.e.
Using 'a' part
d. Which two of these three events are complementary?
The complement of an event happening is the exact opposite: the probability of it not happening.
According to definition,
Option a and c are complementary events.
