To Find:: PA PB PAB

The document contains calculations to determine: 1) Whether two events are independent or not, finding they are not independent since the probability of both occurring does not equal the product of individual probabilities. 2) The probability a student gets a good grade provided they study, calculated as 0.87. 3) The probability a student studies provided they get a good grade, calculated as 0.74.

(a)
<!--<TO-DETERMINE>-->
To find:
Whether the events are independent or not.
<!--</TO-DETERMINE>-->
<!--<ANSWER>-->
Solution:
The probability that an individual fail both the first and second test is 0.05 .
<!--</ANSWER>-->
<!--<EXPLANATION>-->
Explanation:
Given:
The probability that a student studies for a test is 0.60 .
The probability that a student gets a good grade in test is 0.70 .
The probability that the both event occur is 0.52 .
Approach:
The intersection of both the events should be equal to the product of the probability of bth
the events.
Calculation:
Calculate the probability of intersection of both the events.
P  A P  B   P  A  B 
P  A P  B
Here, is the probability that a student studies for test and is the probability
P  A  B
that a student gets good grade in studies and is the intersection if the events
Substitute the values in above equation.
 0.6   0.7   0.52
0.42  0.52
Conclusion:
Hence both the events are not independent.

(b)
<!--<TO-DETERMINE>-->
To find:
The probability that a student gets good grade provided that he studies.
<!--</TO-DETERMINE>-->
<!--<ANSWER>-->
Solution:
The probability that a student gets good grade provided that he studies is 0.87 .
<!--</ANSWER>-->
<!--<EXPLANATION>-->
Explanation:
Given:
The probability that a student studies for a test is 0.60 .
The probability that a student gets a good grade in test is 0.70 .
The probability that the both event occur is 0.52 .
Approach:
The probability of one event dependent to another is calculated by dividing the
intersection of both the events by independent event.
Calculation:
Calculate the probability that a student gets good grade provided that he studies.
