Preparing for the GMAT A company that offers courses to prepare students for the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) has the following information about its customers: 20% are currently undergraduate students in business; 15% are undergraduate students in other fields of study; 60% are

college graduates who are currently employed, and 5%are college graduates who are not employed. Choose a customer at random.

(a) What鈥檚 the probability that the customer is currently an undergraduate? Which rule of probability did you use to find the answer?

(b) What鈥檚 the probability that the customer is not an undergraduate business student? Which rule of probability did you use to find the answer?

Part (a) The likelihood is

Part (b) The likelihood is 0.80

Step by step solution

01

Part (a)  Step 1. Given Information   

xzcsx

02

Part (a) Step 2. Concept Used    

An event is a subset of an experiment's total number of outcomes. The ratio of the number of elements in an event to the number of total outcomes is the probability of that occurrence.

03

Part (a)  Step 3. Calculation    

P(Business bachelor's degree) = 0.20

P(Other topics of study for undergraduates) = 0.15

P(Graduates who are working) = 0.60

P(Graduates who have not found work) = 0.05

Formula:

P(AorB)=P(A)+P(B)

Using formula,

P(UndergraduateinbusinessorUndergraduateinotherfields)=P(Undergraduateinbusiness)+P(Undergraduateinotherfields)=0.20+0.15=0.35

04

Part (b) Step 1. Calculation 

P(Business bachelor's degree) =0.20

P(Other topics of study for undergraduates) = 0.15

P(Graduates who are working) = 0.60

P(Graduates who have not found work) = 0.05

Formula:

P(Ac)=1-P(A)

Using the complementary probability formula,

P(notundergraduatebusiness)=1-P(undergraduatebusiness)=1-0.20=0.80

Random assignment Researchers recruited 20惫辞濒耻苍迟别别谤蝉鈥8men and 12women鈥攖o take part in an experiment. They randomly assigned the subjects

into two groups of 10people each. To their surprise, 6of the 8men were randomly assigned to the same treatment. Should they be surprised? Design and carry out a simulation to estimate the probability that the random assignment puts 6or more men in the same group. Follow the four-step

process.

Role-playing games Refer to Exercise 39. Define event A: sum is 5. Find P(A).

Lotto In the United Kingdom鈥檚 Lotto game, a player picks six numbers from 1 to 49 for each ticket. Rosemary bought one ticket for herself and one for each of her four adult children. She had the lottery computer randomly select the six numbers on each ticket. When the six winning numbers were drawn, Rosemary was surprised to find that none of these numbers appeared on any of the five Lotto tickets she had bought. Should she be? Design and carry

out a simulation to answer this question. Follow the four-step process.
