Question
Hello, I would like to check my work. Can you also provide how to do this in excel?
Thank you!
The following table represents undergraduate students at a local university. One student is chosen at random.
Freshman | Sophomore | Junior | Senior | Total | |
Live On Campus | 3067 | 4995 | 3893 | 3513 | 15468 |
Live Off Campus | 3561 | 4589 | 4469 | 1777 | 14396 |
Total | 6628 | 9584 | 8362 | 5290 | 29864 |
-
- Find the
probability that the student lives off campus or is a junior. - Find the probability that the student lives on campus and is a senior.
- Find the probability that the student is a freshman given that they live on campus.
- Are the
events Freshman and Live on Campus mutually exclusive (or disjoint)?
- Yes
- No
Why?
- conditional probability P(Freshman | Live On Campus) is P(Freshman)
- P(Freshman and Live On Campus) is NOT 0
- P(Freshman and Live On Campus) is 0
- there are freshman that lives on campus
- P(Freshman and Live On Campus) is NOT P(Freshman)*P(Live On Campus)
- P(Freshman and Live On Campus) is NOT P(Freshman)*P(Live On Campus)
- Are the events Freshman and Live on Campus independent according to probability?
- Yes
- No
Why?
- conditional probability P(Freshman | Live On Campus) is P(Freshman)
- P(Freshman and Live On Campus) is NOT 0
- P(Freshman and Live On Campus) is 0
- there are freshman that lives on campus
- P(Freshman and Live On Campus) is NOT P(Freshman)*P(Live On Campus)
- P(Freshman and Live On Campus) is P(Freshman)*P(Live On Campus)
