In: Statistics and Probability
The probability that Samantha will be accepted by the college of her choice and obtain a scholarship is 0.35. If the probability that she is accepted by the college is 0.65, find the probability that she will obtain a scholarship given that she is accepted by the college.
The following information has been given in the problem:
The probability that Samantha will acquire a scholarship given that she is accepted by the college is computed by the following expression:
P(Y|X) = P(X∩Y)P(X)
Substituting our given values into the above equation, we have:
P(Y|X) = 0.350.65 = 0.538 ≈ 0.54
Thus, the probability that Samantha will obtain a scholarship when it is given that she is also accepted by the college Is approximately 0.54.
Thus, the probability that Samantha will obtain a scholarship when it is given that she is also accepted by the college Is approximately 0.54.
