Question

In a math class with 25 students, a test was given the same day that an assignment

was due. There were 15 students who passed the test and 16 students who completed
the assignment. There were 6 students who failed the test and also did not complete
the assignment. What is the probability that a student who completed the homework
passed the test?

Answer 1

Let's first calculate the number of students who passed the test and completed the assignment. We know that 15 students passed the test and 6 students who failed the test and did not complete the assignment. Therefore, there are 25 - 15 - 6 = 4 students who failed the test but completed the assignment.

Now we can calculate the probability that a student who completed the homework passed the test by dividing the number of students who passed the test and completed the assignment by the total number of students who completed the assignment.

The number of students who passed the test and completed the assignment is 15 - 6 = 9. The total number of students who completed the assignment is 16 - 6 = 10. Therefore, the probability that a student who completed the homework passed the test is 9/10 or 0.9.
