Suppose that a business school reports that 37% of its graduate students have an engineering background, and 24% have a social science background. In addition, the university’s annual report indicates that the students in its business school comprise 18% of the total graduate population at the entire university. (a) What is the probability that a randomly chosen university graduate student student is a business school student with a social science background? (b) What is the probability that a randomly chosen university graduate student is neither a business school student with an engineering background nor a business school student with a social science background?

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a business school reports that 37% of its graduate students have an engineering background, and 24% have a social science background

In addition, the university’s annual report indicates that the students in its business school comprise 18% of the total graduate population at the entire university.

a) What is the probability that a randomly chosen university graduate student student is a business school student with a social science background?

Prob for business school student and social science background

=

(b) What is the probability that a randomly chosen university graduate student is neither a business school student with an engineering background nor a business school student with a social science background?

Prob neither business schools student with an engineering background nor a business school student with a social science background

=

x intercept = (-1,0)   (4,0)

because they could drop even lower..
