Question

23% males responded. Of all the femails respondents 43% drive to school. Of all the male respondents 28% ride the bus. P(both male and rides the bus). Answer

Answer 1

The Probability of both male and rides the bus is P(x , y) = 0.0644

Explanation:

Given data

Males responded x = 0.23

The male respondents ride the bus y = 0.28

Probability of both male and rides the bus is given by

P(x , y) = x × y

Put the values of x & y in equation (1) we get

P(x , y) = 0.23 × 0.28

P(x , y) = 0.0644

Therefore the Probability of both male and rides the bus is P(x , y) = 0.0644
