After a campaign to encourage students to take precautions against skin cancer, in a certain high school class consisting of 34 girls and 39 boys, it is observed that 26 girls and 25 boys take precautions as measured by a survey to elicit how often they wear sunscreen, sunglasses and hats for protection against the sun.
Please use this information to calculate the probabilities for the following questions. Please provide each numerical answer to TWO DECIMAL places (X.XX) with no additional information in the answer box. Just X.XX (i.e. no extra spaces, no units, etc).
What is the probability that a student picked at random takes precautions against skin cancer (by wearing sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat), given that the student is a boy?
Solutions
Expert Solution
Total students = 34 + 39 = 73
P(takes precautions against skin cancer | boy) = P(boy and takes precuations) / P(boy)
= (25/73) / (39/73)
= 25 / 39
= 0.64 (ans)

In a certain high school, uniforms are optional. A study shows
that high school students who wear uniforms have a lower grade
average than students who don't wear uniforms. From this study, the
school administration claims that they should not require the
students to wear uniforms because that is the cause of the lowering
grades. Another possible explanation is that students who wear
uniforms are poorer than the students who don't wear uniforms and
the economic situation of their parents...

Students were given a pre-test. Then after they listened to a
certain type of music they were given a similar post test. If we
define the difference as the post test score minus the pre test
score and we find a 95% confidence interval for the mean of the
differences to be [-1.34, 4.56]. Which of the following is true? It
seems like music has affected the scores and the post test scores
are significantly higher. It seems like music...
