If one of the pedestrian deaths is randomly selected, find the probability that the pedestrian was intoxicated. (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)
Probability =

B.

Giving a test to a group of students, the grades and gender are summarized below. Round your answers to 4 decimal places.

Grades and Gender
A B C Total
Male 16 17 13 46
Female 11 20 19 50
Total 27 37 32 96

b. Find the probability that the student was male AND got an "A":  

c. Find the probability that the student was female OR got a "C":

Answer #1

Intoxicated?

Yes No

the probability that the pedestrian was intoxicated. =  

the probability that the pedestrian was intoxicated. = 0.2951

ans 2 )

Grades and Gender
A B C Total
Male 16 17 13 46
Female 11 20 19 50
Total 27 37 32 96

a. the probability that the student got an A = 27/96 =0.2813

b the probability that the student was male AND got an "A" = 16/ 46 =0.3478

c. There are 46 males total and 32 people who got a C  So there are 46+32 = 78 people who either are male or got a B

We need to subtract off the 13 males who got C . i.e 78 -13 = 65 now there are 96 student total

P(male OR got a C) = (number who are male or got a C or both)/(total no. of students )
P(male OR got a C) = 65/96
P(male OR got a C) = 0.6771

d)  one student is chosen at random, the probability that the student got an 'B' GIVEN they are male = 16 / 27 =0.5926
