At a high school, the probability that a student takes a science class and a history class is 0.48. The probability that a student takes a science class is 0.82, and the probability that the student takes a history class is 0.64. What is the probability (rounded to the nearest hundredth) that a student takes a history class given that the student is taking a science class?A)0.39
B)0.75
C)0.30
D)0.59

Answer 1

Answer: Solutions

Probability: number of favourable outcomes
__________________________

total number of possible outcomes

In general, the total number of possible outcomes can be determined by multiplying the number of possible outcomes for each event.

P(A|B)= $(P(A,B))/(P(B))$

P(A|B) ⇒ P(taking history | taking science) , Therefore A corresponds to taking history, B corresponds to taking science.

P(A,B) will be the probability that a student is taking both of the subjects.

P(B) is the probability that a student is taking the subject science (regardless of whether he/she takes history or not)

Now to solve the problem you plug in the given numbers.

0.48 ÷ 0.82

0.48 is the Probability of (A,B) and 0.82 is the Probability of (B)

= 0.58537

Rounded to 0.59

Answer = (D)

Step-by-step explanation:

Write an expression that has two terms. Your expression should have a variable and a constant.

Answers

Quite simply: 2+x

A constant is simply a number, something that does not change: here it's "2"

A variable can chage: here it's "x" - anything can be substituted for x

If we put those two together with a "+" sign, we get an expression: variables or contants (including multipled ones: such as 2x, which is a term) added to each other or subtracted from each other
