HI!!

What do you think is the probability?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
And I'm not sure, I tried doing 575/650 and 300/650, but it's not working out
OpenStudy (misty1212):
\[P(F|B)\] you can read off of the table
OpenStudy (misty1212):
total on the bus is what?
OpenStudy (faiqraees):
What do you think is the probability?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
the total on the bus is 650
OpenStudy (misty1212):
ok, and in that column, how many females were on the bus?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
300
OpenStudy (misty1212):
ok so \[P(F|B)=\frac{300}{650}\]which i am sure you can reduce
OpenStudy (misty1212):
now on to see if the events are "independent" or "dependent"

OpenStudy (misty1212):
how many students total?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i tried reducing by 5 and i got 12/26, which isn't an answer choice
OpenStudy (misty1212):
we are not done yet
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh, ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what would i do next

OpenStudy (misty1212):
oh wait, you reduced wrong !!
OpenStudy (misty1212):
\[\frac{300}{650}=\frac{30}{65}\]is a good first step,
now divide top and bottom by 5
OpenStudy (misty1212):
what do you get?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok, 6/13
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sorry, my computer is lagging

OpenStudy (misty1212):
so A or C
now we need \(P(F)\)
OpenStudy (misty1212):
how many total female, how many total students?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
total female is 575, total student is 1200
OpenStudy (misty1212):
so \[P(F)=\frac{575}{1200}\]which is NOT the same as \(P(F|B)\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
they would be dependent because when reduced, they arent equal

OpenStudy (anonymous):
so A?
OpenStudy (misty1212):
so the events are dependent, yes, what you said
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Thank you so much!
