Question

Students in an urban school were curious about how many children regularly eat breakfast. They conducted a survey, asking.

"Do you eat breakfast on a regular basis?" All 595 students in the school responded to the survey. The resulting data are shown in the two-way table. Suppose we select a student from the school at random. Define event F as getting a female student and event B as getting a student who cats breakfast regularly.

Answer 1

The calculated value of the probability P(F and Bc) is 0.1849

How to determine the probability P(F and Bc)

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

The table of values

Where, we have the following definition:

• Event F as getting a female student
• Event B as getting a student who cats breakfast regularly.

Using the above as a guide, we have the following:

P(F) = 275/595

P(Bc) = 295/595

P(F and Bc) = 110/595

Evaluate

P(F and Bc) = 0.1849

Hence, the probability is 0.1849
