Let's imagine for a moment that every high school graduate in the Monterey / Salinas area either goes to MPC or to Hartnell and that the probability tree below shows the probabilities that a given student will attend either MPC or Hartnell. Monterey 0.6 Salinas 6.4 MPC 0.85 Hartnell 0.5 MPC 0.25 Hartnell 0.75 Let A be the event that the student is from Monterey and B be the event that the student goes to MPC. Find the probability P(BA). Enter your answer as a decimal rounded to three decimal places (if necessary).

Step 1
- Let A = student is from Monterey - Let B = student goes to MPC - We need to find P(B|A) = probability that a student goes to MPC given that they are from Monterey Show more…

Express the probability as both a fraction and a decimal. (Round to three decimal places, if necessary.) Donovan is considering transferring to a 4-year college. He is considering 10 out-of state colleges and 4 colleges in his state. He will choose one college at random to visit during spring break. Find the probability that Donovan will choose an out-of-state college.

At a local community college, 47% of students who enter the college as freshmen go on to graduate. Eight freshmen were selected: What is the probability that none of them graduates from the local community college? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 4 decimal places.) Probability: 0.0062 What is the probability that at most seven will graduate from the local community college? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 4 decimal places.) Probability:

Consider randomly selecting a student at a large university and let A be the event that the selected student has a Visa card, B be the event that the selected student has a MasterCard, and C be the event that the selected student has an American Express Card. Suppose that P(A) = 0.99, P(B) = 0.42, and P(C) = 0.1. Also, P(A∩B) = 0.42, P(B∩C) = 0.02, and P(A∩C) = 0.09. Finally, P(A∩B∩C) = 0.02. a. What is the probability that the student has only a Visa card (and no other cards)? b. What is the probability that the selected student has at least one of the three cards? c. What is the probability that the selected student has both a Visa card and a MasterCard but not an American Express card? e. Calculate P(B|A). Please round to 3 decimal places. f. Calculate P(A|B) g. Given that a student has a MasterCard, what is the probability that they have an American Express Card or a Visa Card?
