Question

At a local high school, the probability that a student has a job and a car is 0.18. Jackson wants to find the probability that a student has a car given that they have a job. What additional information does Jackson need to know in order to fine the probability??

A. the total number of students with cars

B. the total number of students with jobs

C. the probability that a student has a job

D. the probability that a student has a car or job

Answer 1

The answer would be C. the probability that a student has a job, because it says in the question that Jackson wants to find the probability that a student has a car given that they have a job.

I thought that it was D. the probability that a student has a car or job before, but I got it wrong on a quiz. Looking back on it, answer C. makes more sense.

Answer 2

D. the probability that a student has a car or job
