Question 1206392: Out of
300
college applications,
212
are out of state applicants. Of the
212
out of state applicants,
110
have visited the college. What is the probability of choosing an an applicant that has visited the campus, given the applicant is out of state? Round to four decimals, as needed.
Since this problem is on conditional probability, you may reduce the set of events
to those 212 applicants that are out of state.
Then the favorable set is 110 of 212 out of state applicants, who visited the college.
Now the answer is obvious: it is P = = 0.5189 (rounded as requested).
