Students took a math placement test and were placed in one of three levels of a math course: A, B, or C. The probability of placements are illustrated in the table below.

  1. Verify the 2 requirements for a probability distribution are met.

  2. What is the probability a student is not placed into course B?

  3. What is the probability a student is placed into course C or B?

Expert Solution

P(not placed into course B) = 0.35 + 0.43 = 0.78

P(placed into course C or B) = 0.43 + 0.22 = 0.65
