Suppose that 10 sophomores enter a belching contest and that their respective skill levels are approximately the same. Six of the entrants are female and two of those are engineering majors. Three of the men are engineers. What is the probability that the winner will be either a non-engineering major or a male? ○ 0.40 ○ 0.60 ○ 0.80 ○ 0.20

Step 1
Let $E$ be the event that the winner is an engineering major, and $E^c$ be the event that the winner is a non-engineering major. We are given that there are 10 sophomores in total. There are 6 females and 4 males. There are 2 female engineering majors. There are 3 Show more…

In a random sample of WKU students, 50% indicated that they are business majors, 40% indicated that they are engineering majors, and 10% indicated that they are other majors. Of the business majors, 60% were females, while 30% of engineering majors were females. Finally, 80% of the other majors were male. Given that a person is male, what is the probability that he is an engineering major?

Question 7 An engineering school reports that 60% of its students were male (M), 31% of its students were between the ages of 18 and 20 (A), and that 25% were both male and between the ages of 18 and 20. What is the probability of choosing a random student who is female or between the ages of 18 and 20? Assume P(F) = P(not M). Your answer should be given to two decimal places. Question 8 An engineering school reports that 57% of its students were male (M), 39% of its students were between the ages of 18 and 20 (A), and that 34% were both male and between the ages of 18 and 20. What is the probability of a random student being male or between the ages of 18 and 20? Your answer should be rounded to two decimal places.
