What is the question asking
Answer:
(a) The probability of a "Yes" answer, given that the person was a female is 0.16
(b) The probability that the respondent was a male, given that the response was a "No" is 0.3
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem can be solved using the definition of conditional probability
P(B|A) = P(A∩B) / P(A)
(a) In this case, event A is that the person is female and event B is that the answer of the person is "Yes".
P("Yes" | Female) = P(Female ∩ "Yes") / P(Female)
P("Yes" | Female) = (8/100)/(50/100)
P("Yes" | Female) = 8/50
P("Yes" | Female) = 0.16
(b) In this case, event A that the answer of the person is "No" and event B is that the person is male.
P(Male | "No") = P("No" ∩ Male) / P("No")
P(Male | "No") = (18/100)/(60/100)
P(Male | "No") = 18/60
P(Male | "No") = 0.3
Best way to start this is set up your ground work...
Adult= A Student =S
A + S = 292
A3 + S1 = 470$
this will be your system of equations now set up your matrix and have A or S at the bottom stand alone.
