Question

An engineering school reports that 52% of its students were male (M), 33% of its students were between the ages of 18 and 20 (A), and that 22% were both male and between the ages of 18 and 20.

What is the probability of choosing a random student who is a female or between the ages of 18 and 20? Assume P(F) = P(not M).

Your answer should be given to two decimal places.

Answer 1

The probability of selecting a random student who is a female or between the ages of 18 and 20 is 0.65.
What is probability?
Probability means possibility. It deals with the occurrence of a random event. The value of probability can only be from 0 to 1. Its basic meaning is something is likely to happen. It is the ratio of the favorable event to the total number of events.
