At heard high school, The probability that a student takes advanced weight training in advance Spanish is 0.099. The probability that a student takes advanced weight training is 0.71. What is the probability that a student is taking Advanced Spanish if the same student is taking advanced weight training? A) 7% B) 14% C) 50% D) 71% @CollateralDamage

you understand it dan815

OpenStudy (dan815):

its a weird question to be honest, the solution im about to show u doesnt make sense in reality

OpenStudy (dan815):

because we dont know how the intersection between spanish and weight training students really work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

grrrrrrr (*o*)

OpenStudy (dan815):

they are trying to teach u a simpler concept and they used a bad question for it

OpenStudy (dan815):

try to answer this question lets say you roll the dice twice, What is the chance you get an number greater than 4 on the first roll and you get an even number on the 2nd roll

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im stupid i cant do math to save my life

OpenStudy (dan815):

umm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (dan815):

dont think hard about it its a very simple idea

OpenStudy (dan815):

there are 2 numbers more than 4 on a dice right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (dan815):

2/6, now half the numbers on a dice are even, so 3/6 2/6 * 3/6 would give you the chance you roll a number more than 4 and then even on the 2nd one

OpenStudy (dan815):

very close to your question

OpenStudy (dan815):

now u wanna get spanish and weight training

OpenStudy (dan815):

0.71 * 0.099. = 7%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks dude

OpenStudy (dan815):

you can look up probability tree diagrams on youtube if you are interested in understading more about this

OpenStudy (dan815):

okay good luck
