randomly chosen student will finish the semester with an A in the class and there is a 60% a randomly chosen
student will get an A on a test during the semester. Is the probability that a randomly chosen student receives
an A in the class and an A on a test during the semester equal to 0.24?
No, because the chance of getting an A on a test and getting an A in the class are not
mutually exclusive.
b. Yes, because the chance of getting an A on a test and getting an A in the class are
mutually exclusive.
No, because the chance of getting an A on a test and getting an A in the class are not
independent.
d. Yes, because the chance of getting an A on a test and getting an A in the class are
independent.
