Men have a reputation for not wanting to ask for directions. a harris study conducted for lincoln mercury indicated that 42% of men and 61% of women would stop and ask for directions. the u. s. census bureau's 2012 population estimate was that for individuals 18 or over, 48.2% were men and 51.8% were women. this exercise addresses this age group. a randomly chosen driver gets lost on a road trip. determine the probability that the driver is a woman and stops to ask for directions.

0.316

Step-by-step explanation:

Defining

p(A): probability that the driver is a woman = 0.518

p(B): probability that a woman stops to ask for directions = 0.61

Then, the probability that the driver is a woman and stops to ask for directions is

p(A)*p(B) = 0.518*0.61 = 0.316

the answer would be d

straight away you can eliminate a and c because not all books contain a scientific skill because some may be fiction. c is also wrong because it saids that the only way children can learn is through books which is incorrect.

b is also wrong because reading can be a scientific skill but not always, therefore it is wrong which leaves you with d, the correct answer since it said that it can children learn.

hope this ! : 3
