Question

A sample of 150 CBC students was taken, and each student filled out a

survey. The survey asked students about different aspects of their college
and personal lives. The experimenter taking the survey defined the
following events:
A=The student has children
B = The student is enrolled in at least 12 credits
C = The student works at least 10 hours per week
The student found that 44 students in the sample had children, 73 were
enrolled in at least 12 credits, and 105 were working at least 10 hours per
week. The student also noted that 35 students had children and were
working at least 10 hours per week.
Calculate the probability of the event BC for students in this sample. Round
your answer to four decimal places as necessary.

Answer 1

The probability of the event BC

= the probability of B * C = 48.6667% * 70%

= 34.0667%

Explanation:

Probability of A, students with children = 44/150 = 29.3333%

Probability of B, students enrolled in at least 12 credits = 73/150 = 48.6667%

Probability of C, students working at least 10 hours per week = 105/150 = 70%

Therefore, the Probability of BC, students enrolled in 12 credits and working 10 hours per week

= 48.6667% * 70%

= 34.0667%
