FOR A MEDAL
A class of 160 students contains 40 honor students, 60 athletes, and 80 who are neither athletes nor honor students. From the entire group a student is chosen at random. What is the probability that the student chosen is an honor student given that he is an athlete?
is it multiple choice?
2:4
Ah good old probablility
i think
here r the answers 1/8 1/3 1/2
Once you know he is an honor student, the denominator drops from 160 to just 40. And since 40 + 60 + 80 is 180 but there are only 160 students, 20 were counted twice so they must be both honor and athletes. So it's 20/40 or 1/2 that the student chosen is an athlete given that he is an honor student
can u help me with some more questions
Yup
