Question

48% of the students in the school are female and the probability of taking of physics is independent of the gender of the student, what is the probability that a student chosen at random is both a female and taking physics?

Answer 1

Note: If A and B are independent events, P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B)
------------------------


P(female and physics) = P(female)*P(physics) = 0.48*P(physics)
