Question
In a certain high school, the probability that a student drops out is 0.07, and the probability that a dropout gets a high-school equivalency diploma (GED) is 0.31. What is the probability that a randomly selected student gets a GED? Write only a number as your answer. Round to four decimal places (for example: 0.2711). Do not write as a percentage. Your Answer: In a survey on study habits, students at a local college were asked whether they listened to music while studying. The following table was constructed. Find the probability that a randomly selected student listens to music while studying given that the student is female. Write only a number a your answer. Round to two decimal places (for example: 0.73). Do not write as a percentage. Your Answer:Explanation / Answer
8. Here it is given that P(drop out)=0.07 and further P(GED/drop out)=0.31
Hence P(GED)=0.31*0.07=0.0217
