3. In Sarai's class, all students take math and English. According to her teachers, the probability that a student completes a mathematics assignment is 80% and the probability that a student completes an English assignment is 75%. The probability that a student completes both assignments is 70%. Are these events dependent or independent? Use a mathematical calculation to support your answer.
4. Suppose you have the following data after surveying a class of students. P (Pass the midterm) = 0.65 P (Study for the midterm) = 0.75 P (Study for the midterm and Pass the midterm) = 0.53 P (Do not pass the midterm, given they do not study) = 0.86 a. What is the probability that a student studied for the midterm, given that they passed? b. What is the probability that a student does not pass the midterm and does not study?
. Schools are more likely to close for the day if it is snowing outside. Suppose you have the following data for the month November. - The probability that it snows is 20%. - The probability that school closes and it does not snow is 1%. - The probability that a school does not close given that it snows is 85%. Answer the following two questions, i) What is the probability that a school will close? ii) What is the probability the school does not close, given that it does not snow?
