Solutions

Expert Solution

Given

P( a randomly selected student live off campus) = 1/3

That implies, P( a randomly selected student live on campus) = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3

P( a randomly selected student live new jersey) = 5/9

That implies, P(a randomly selected student does not live new jersey) = 1 - 5/9 = 4/9

P( a randomly selected student live on campus or are not from new jersey) = 3/4

a) The probability that a randomly selected student lives on campus and is not from new jersey

= P( a randomly selected student live on campus) + P(a randomly selected student does not live new jersey) - P( a randomly selected student live on campus or are not from new jersey)

b) The probability that a randomly selected student is not from new jersey provided they live on campus

= P(a randomly selected student does not live new jersey | a randomly selected student live on campus )

= P(a randomly selected student lives on campus and is not from new jersey) / P(a randomly selected student live on campus )

c) The probability that a randomly selected student lives on campus provided they arent from new jersey

= P(a randomly selected student live on campus | a randomly selected student does not live new jersey )

= P(a randomly selected student lives on campus and is not from new jersey) / P(a randomly selected student does not live new jersey )
