This Question: 1 pt | 11 of 20 (7 complete) The table below shows the number of male and female students enrolled in nursing at a particular university for a recent semester (a) Find the probability that a randomly selected student is male, given that the student is a nursing major. (b) Find the probability that a randomly selected student is a nursing major, given that the student is male. Non-nursing majors 1082 1662 2744 Nursing Majors 94 708 802 Total 1176 2370 3546 Males Females Total (a) Find the probability that a randomly selected student is male, given that the student is a nursing major. The probability is (Round to three decimal places as needed.) (b) Find the probability that a randomly selected student is a nursing major given that the student is male. The probability is (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

Explanation / Answer

Ans:

a)P(male/nursing major)=P(male and nursing major)/P(nursing major)

=(94/3546)/(802/3546)

=94/802

=0.117

b)P(nursing major/male)=P(nursing major and male)/P(male)

=(94/3546)/(1176/3546)

=94/1176

=0.080
