Question

FAN AND MEDAL
Ben has a 40% chance of being selected as the president of the school sports club and a 70% chance of being elected editor of the school magazine.

What is the probability that Ben will be selected as the president of the sports club and will also be elected editor of the school magazine?

0.3%
1.1%
14%
28%

Answer 1

When the success or failure of an event A does not affect the outcome of another even B, then A and B are independent. The probability of both events happening, P(A∩B)=P(A)*P(B).

If the selection of the president and the editor is independent, then the probability of getting selected for both posts is the product of the probabilities of being selected for either post.

Answer 16

Was C a guess?
"If the selection of the president and the editor is independent, then the probability of getting selected for both posts is the product of the probabilities of being selected for either post."

Note: product = result of a multiplication, example: product of 2 and 3 = 2*3=6

P(president)=0.4
P(editor)=0.7
P(president and editor)=0.4*0.7=0.28

Answer 17

yeah 14%!
