Sagot :

The probability a randomly selected student eats breakfast is 0.58.

The probability a randomly selected student is a middle schooler is 0.60.

The probability a randomly selected student is either a high schooler OR eats breakfast is 0.98.

The probability a randomly selected student is a high schooler AND eats breakfast is 0.23.

The probability a randomly selected student is a high schooler, given that they eat breakfast is 0.33.

The probability a randomly selected student eats breakfast given the student is a high schooler is 0.23.

What are the probabilities?

The probability a randomly selected student eats breakfast = number of students that eat breakfast / total number of students

52 / (52 + 38) =  0.58.

The probability a randomly selected student is a middle schooler = total number of middle schoolers / total number of students = (40 + 14) / 90 =  0.60.

The probability a randomly selected student is either a high schooler OR eats breakfast = (total number of high schoolers / total number of students) + (number of students that eat breakfast / total number of students) = 36 / 90 + 52 / 90 =  0.98.

The probability a randomly selected student is a high schooler AND eats breakfast = (total number of high schoolers / total number of students) x (number of students that eat breakfast / total number of students) = 36 / 90 x 52 / 90 =  0.23.

The probability a randomly selected student is a high schooler, given that they eat breakfast = high schooler that eats breakfast / total number of students that eat breakfast

12 / 52 =  0.33.

The probability a randomly selected student eats breakfast given the student is a high schooler = high schooler that eats breakfast / total number of high schoolers = 12 / 36 = 0.23.
