Question

1. one hundred students were allowed to retake an exam for their math course. the probability distribution shows how studying for the latest exam affected their grade when compared with the first time they took the exam. what is the probability that a student who studied for the exam saw an increase in their exam grade? round to the nearest thousandth. \

$$\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|} \\hline \\multicolumn{4}{|c|}{exam grades} \\\\ \\hline raise in grade & studied & did not study & totals \\\\ \\hline no raise in grade & 0.52 & 0.06 & 0.58 \\\\ \\hline totals & 0.08 & 0.27 & 0.35 \\\\ \\hline & 0.60 & 0.33 & 1 \\\\ \\hline \\end{tabular}$$

a. 0.000 \quad b. 0.087 \quad c. 0.092 \quad d. 0.470

1. according to one study, 87% of the population swallows at least one spider per year in their sleep. based on this study, what is the probability that exactly 7 of 10 randomly selected people have swallowed at least one spider in their sleep in the last year? a. 70% \quad b. 22% \quad c. 1% \quad d. 34%

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the relevant data

We need the probability that a student who studied (condition) has an increase in grade (event). From the table, the "Studied" row and "Raise in Grade" column has 0.52, but wait, no—wait, the conditional probability formula is \( P(\text{Raise} | \text{Studied}) = \frac{P(\text{Raise} \cap \text{Studied})}{P(\text{Studied})} \). From the table, \( P(\text{Raise} \cap \text{Studied}) = 0.52 \), \( P(\text{Studied}) = 0.57 \) (total for Studied row). Wait, no, maybe the table is:

Wait the table columns: Studied, Did Not Study, Totals; rows: Raise in Grade, No Raise in Grade, Totals.

So "Raise in Grade" row: Studied=0.52, Did Not Study=0.06, Totals=0.58

"Studied" column total: 0.52 + 0.05? Wait no, the table as seen:

Wait the user's table (partially):

Rows:

• Raise in Grade: Studied=0.52, Did Not Study=0.06, Totals=0.58
• No Raise in Grade: Studied=0.05? Wait no, the image shows:

Wait the table:

	Studied	Did Not Study	Totals

| No Raise in Grade | 0.05? Wait no, the user's text: "Raise in Grade: Studied 0.52, Did Not Study 0.06, Totals 0.58; No Raise in Grade: Studied 0.05? Wait no, the "Studied" column totals: 0.52 + 0.05 = 0.57? Wait the "Totals" row for Studied: 0.57, Did Not Study: 0.43, Totals: 1.

Ah, so "Studied" column: Raise=0.52, No Raise=0.05 (since 0.52 + 0.05 = 0.57), "Did Not Study" column: Raise=0.06, No Raise=0.37 (0.06 + 0.37 = 0.43), totals row: 0.57 + 0.43 = 1, and Raise total: 0.52 + 0.06 = 0.58, No Raise total: 0.05 + 0.37 = 0.42, 0.58 + 0.42 = 1.

So we need \( P(\text{Raise} | \text{Studied}) = \frac{P(\text{Raise} \cap \text{Studied})}{P(\text{Studied})} = \frac{0.52}{0.57} \approx 0.912 \)? Wait no, 0.52 divided by 0.57: 0.52 / 0.57 ≈ 0.912? Wait 0.57 * 0.912 ≈ 0.52. Wait but the options are A. 0.000, B. 0.897, C. 0.912, D. 0.470.

Wait maybe the "Studied" column total is 0.57 (0.52 + 0.05), so 0.52 / 0.57 ≈ 0.912, which is option C.

Step1: Recall conditional probability formula

The formula for conditional probability is \( P(A|B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)} \), where \( A \) is "Raise in Grade" and \( B \) is "Studied".

Step2: Identify \( P(A \cap B) \) and \( P(B) \)

From the table, \( P(A \cap B) = 0.52 \) (probability student studied and had a grade raise), and \( P(B) = 0.57 \) (total probability of studying, from the "Studied" column total).

Step3: Calculate the probability

\( P(\text{Raise} | \text{Studied}) = \frac{0.52}{0.57} \approx 0.912 \) (rounded to three decimal places).

Answer:

C. 0.912
