FOR A MEDAL

OpenStudy (chasebraves):

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?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it multiple choice?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2:4

OpenStudy (jchick):

Ah good old probablility

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think

OpenStudy (chasebraves):

here r the answers 1/8 1/3 1/2

OpenStudy (jchick):

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
