The probability that if a student does not study, he passes the exam is 0.2837.
The probability that a student studied for the final exam is 0.4019.
To solve this problem, we can create a tree diagram and then calculate the probabilities.

a) What is the probability that if a student does not study, he passes the exam? (Round to 2 decimals)
To find the probability of passing the exam if a student did not study, we need to consider the probability of not passing the exam among those who did not study and the total number of students who did not study.
Probability of not passing the exam among those who did not study: 82% (82/100) = 0.82
Total number of students who did not study: 100% (100/100) = 1
Probability of passing the exam if a student did not study: (0.82/1) / (0.82 + 0.82) = 0.475 / 1.64 = 0.2837 (rounded to 2 decimals)
b) What is the probability that a student studied for the final exam?
To find the probability that a student studied for the final exam, we need to consider the probability of studying among those who passed the exam and the total number of students who passed the exam.
Probability of studying among those who passed the exam: 82% (82/100) = 0.82
Total number of students who passed the exam: 15% (15/100) = 0.15
Probability of studying for the final exam: (0.82/0.15) / (0.82 + 0.82) = 0.65 / 1.64 = 0.4019 (rounded to 2 decimals)
