For the student who passes French 101, the probability is 0.76 that he or she will pass French 102. What is the probability that a student selected at random will pass both French 101 and French 102?
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:The probability that a student selected at random will pass both French 101 and French 102 is 0,608Step-by-step explanation:In this case, we want to know the probability of two events happening , the 2 events are that the student selected pass both French 101 and French 102So, the probability of a student passing French 101 is 0.8The probability of a student passing French 102 is 0.76We are looking the probability of 2 both event occur , so we have to multiply the probability of both events. Probability that a student selected at random will pass both French 101 and French 102= P passing French 101* P passing French 102P= 0.8*0.76= 0,608
