Another independent probability question?? Algebra 2
A two-way frequency table shows grades for students in college and students in high school.
Based on this data, are "being in high school" and "GPA above 3.0" independent events? Yes, P(high school | GPA above 3.0) = P(high school) Yes, P(high school | GPA above 3.0) = P(GPA above 3.0) No, P(high school | GPA above 3.0) ≠ P(high school) No, P(high school | GPA above 3.0) ≠ P(GPA above 3.0)

I am really bad with this kind of problem so i can not help sorry :(
now this one at least makes sense
It's okay, Jenna :)
thanks @TrixieDiVine
the probability that you went to high school, given that your gpa is above 3.0, is \(\frac{14}{40}\) since \(40\) total had a gpa of above 3.0 and of those 14 had high school
the total of the people who went to high school is 60, the total sample is 100 so the probability of high school is \(\frac{60}{100}=.6\)
compare \(.6\) with \(\frac{14}{40}\) and you will see that they are not equal, so the answer is DEPENDENT
go with No, P(high school | GPA above 3.0) ≠ P(high school)
as always, it is C the probability that it is C is \(.9\) for any multiple choice question
I thought that was it! :D
is this your last one if not mention me and i will try to help
