This problem says, giving a test to a group of students, the grades and genders are summarized below.
00:05
And we're asked if one student is chosen at random, find the probability that the student was female or received a grade of b, and leave answer to four decimal places.
00:14
So to figure this out, since we're looking at the probability of one selection and we're given an or problem, we're going to look at the probability of these two events separately and add the probabilities, and then check to see if we have any overlap between the two categories.
00:27
So the probability that we have a female would be the total females, regardless of the grade, 28, over or divided by the total number of people in the charter in this group of students, which would be the 65.
00:40
And then for the probability that we got a b, that would be the total of b students or b grades, which was 29, again out of the total 65.
00:48
And if there was no overlap, we could say that we're finished, we could add those two values to get our final answer...
