Giving a test to a group of students, the grades and gender are summarized below
A B C Total
Male 10 7 13 30
Female 3 5 8 16
Total 13 12 21 46
Write all solutions as a decimals to 4 places. If one student is chosen at
random,
----------------------------------------------
Find the probability that the student was male:
Number of male students = 30
Total number of students = 46
P(Male) = 30/46 = 0.6522
-----------------------------------------------
Find the probability that the student was male AND got a "C":
P(Male and C) = 13/46 = 0.2826
-----------------------------------------------
Find the probability that the student was male OR got a "C":
P(Male OR C) = P(Male)+P(C)-P(Male AND C)
P(Male OR C) = 30/46 + 21/46 - 13/46 = 38/46 = 0.8261
----------------------------------------------------
If one student is chosen at random, find the probability that the student got
a C' GIVEN they are male.
P(C|Male) = P(C AND Male)/P(Male) =
