Concept explainers
a)
To explain the way of arrival of conclusion.
a)
Answer to Problem 17E
Using the multiplication rule of probability.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
P(Harvard) = 9% = 0.09
P(Stanford) = 10% = 0.10
P(Penn) = 16% = 0.16
So, Jorge has used the Multiplication Property.
b)
To explain the assumptions of the results.
b)
Answer to Problem 17E
Independent
Explanation of Solution
Given:
P(Harvard) = 9% = 0.09
P(Stanford) = 10% = 0.10
P(Penn) = 16% = 0.16
Before using the multiplication rule, he assumed that the probabilities are independent.
c)
To explain if agree with the conclusion.
c)
Answer to Problem 17E
Yes, I agree.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
P(Harvard) = 9% = 0.09
P(Stanford) = 10% = 0.10
P(Penn) = 16% = 0.16
I agree with this conclusion, because his acceptance into one of the schools does not depend on whether or not he is accepted into any of the other schools.
