A survey participant is selected at random. What is the probability that he or she is a

junior

AND

neutral

​?

In other​ words, find​ P(person is a

junior

AND

neutral

Solutions

Expert Solution

Let A be the event that the selected participant is junior.

Let B be the event that the selected participant is neutral.

Now to find the probability that the selected participant is junior and neutral , we make use of the conditional probability given by,   

  

To find the probability that the selected person is junior given he is neutral (i.e) P(A|B):

Number of selected participants who are neutral(B) is 41 and the number of juniors(A) among the neutral participants is 16.

Thus the probability that the selected person is junior given he is neutral = 16/41 =0.39

To find the probability that the selected person is neutral (i.e) P(B):

  Number of selected participants who are neutral(B) is 41.

Total number of selected participants is 273.

Thus the probability of selected participant is neutral =41/273=0.15

TO FIND THE PROBABILITY THAT THE PERSON IS JUNIOR AND NEUTRAL:

Since   

  

Thus the P[person is junior and neutral] is 0.059.

A survey of undergraduate college students at a small university was recently done by an administrator in charge of residential life services. A random sample of 300 students was selected from each class level (freshman, sophomore, junior, senior). Each student was asked to complete and return a short questionnaire on quality of campus residence. Some students returned the questionnaire, and some didn't. This is summarized in the table below: Class Returned Not response Total Freshman 110 190 300 Sophomore 130...

a) Write C code using if statements to display ‘Freshman, ‘Sophomore’, ‘Junior’ or ‘Senior’ based on what value is in variable classification. Display ‘unknown ’ if classification does not contain ‘f’, ‘s’, ‘j’or ‘r’. Allow upper or lower case in variable color. In other words either ‘r’ or ‘R’ will display ‘Senior’. b) Write C code to do the same thing as the previous problem, but use a switch statement.
