A student is selected at random from these students.
a. What is the probability that the student will have:
1) a rating above average in art?
𝟕𝟗
𝑷(𝑨) = ≈ 𝟎. 𝟑𝟕𝟔𝟐
𝟐𝟏𝟎
2) a rating below average in mathematics?
𝟏𝟐𝟖
𝑷(𝑴′ ) = ≈ 𝟎. 𝟔𝟎𝟗𝟓
𝟐𝟏𝟎
b. What is the probability that the student will have:
1) a rating above average in mathematics given that the student has a rating above
average in art?
𝑷(𝑴∩𝑨) 𝟓𝟑⁄ 𝟓𝟑 53
𝑷(𝑴|𝑨) = = 𝟕𝟗 𝟐𝟏𝟎 = 𝟕𝟗 ≈ 𝟎. 𝟔𝟕𝟎𝟗 or from table: 𝑷(𝑴|𝑨) = 79 ≈ 𝟎. 𝟔𝟕𝟎𝟗
𝑷(𝑨) ⁄𝟐𝟏𝟎
2) a rating above average in art given that the student has a rating above average in
mathematics?
𝑷(𝑨∩𝑴) 𝟓𝟑⁄ 𝟓𝟑 𝟓𝟑
𝑷(𝑨|𝑴) = = 𝟖𝟐 𝟐𝟏𝟎 = 𝟖𝟐 ≈ 𝟎. 𝟔𝟒𝟔𝟑 or from table: 𝑷(𝑨|𝑴) = 𝟖𝟐 ≈ 𝟎. 𝟔𝟒𝟔𝟑
𝑷(𝑴) ⁄𝟐𝟏𝟎
c. What is the probability that the student will have:
1) a rating above average in both art and mathematics?
