2.2#18. Thirty percent of the students in a calculus course and 20 percent of students in a statistics course receive A's. Furthermore, 60 percent of the students with an A in calculus receive an A in the statistics course. John received an A in the statistics course. Calculate the probability that he also received an A in the calculus course.

Step 1
We know that 30% of students in calculus receive an A, and 20% of students in statistics receive an A. Let's represent these probabilities as P(A|C) and P(A|S), respectively. P(A|C) = 0.3 P(A|S) = 0.2 Show more…

In a class consisting of 60% of Juniors, an exam resulted in 30% of 'C' grades. Juniors with 'C' grades formed 20% of the class. Determine a. the probability of a Junior obtaining a 'C' grade, b. the probability of a non-Junior obtaining a 'C' grade, c. Given that a student received a 'C' grade, the probability that s/he is a Junior, d. the probability of a student being Junior and/or received a 'C'. e. the probability of a grade OTHER THAN 'C' received by a NON-Junior.
