Answer 1

The probability that a randomly selected student didn’t take economics but did take statistics is 13%.

Explanation:

Let the event that a student offers Economics be E.

The event that a student does NOT offer Economics is E'.

Let the event that a student offers Statistics be S.

The event that a student does NOT offer Statistics be S'.

P(E) = 13.5% = 0.135

P(S) = 24.7% = 0.247

P(E n S) = 11.7% = 0.117

Find the probability that a randomly selected student didn’t take economics but did take statistics

This probability = P(E' n S)

Since E and E' are mutually exclusive events,

P(S) = P(E' n S) + P(E n S)

P(E' n S) = P(S) - P(E n S)

P(E' n S) = 0.247 - 0.117 = 0.13 = 13%

Hope this Helps!!!
