Answer:
(b) Probability that a student is male and attends concert = 22.95%
(c) Probability that a student is female and does not attend concert = 29.4%
(d) Probability that a student attends concerts = 42.55%
Step-by-step explanation:
P.S - The exact question is -
Given - The population of a high school is 51% male. 45% of the males and 40% of the females attend concerts.
To find - (a) Make a tree diagram based on the information above.
(b) Find the probability that a student is male and attends
concerts.
(c) Find the probability that a student is female and does not
attend concerts.
(d) Find the probability that a student attends concerts.
Proof -
Let the total population of the high school = 100 x
Given that,
The students of a high school are 51% males
⇒Total males in the high school = 51% × 100 x
= [tex]\frac{51}{100}[/tex] × 100 x = 51 x
⇒Total males in the high school = 51 x
⇒Total females in the high school = 100 x - 51 x = 49 x
Now,
Given that,
Of the students at this high school 45% of males and 40% of females said they regularly attend concerts.
⇒Total number of males that attend the concert = 45% × 51 x
= [tex]\frac{45}{100}[/tex] × 51 x = 22.95 x
⇒Total number of males that attend the concert = 22.95 x
And
Total number of males that do not attend the concert = 51 x - 22.95 x
= 28.05 x
⇒Total number of males that do not attend the concert = 28.05 x
Also,
Total number of females that attend the concert = 40% × 49 x
= [tex]\frac{40}{100}[/tex] × 49 x = 19.6 x
⇒Total number of females that attend the concert = 19.6 x
And
Total number of females that do not attend the concert = 49 x - 19.6 x
= 29.4 x
⇒Total number of females that do not attend the concert = 29.4 x
(a)
The tree diagram is as follows :
(b)
Probability that a student is male and attends concert = [tex]\frac{22.95 x}{100 x}[/tex] × 100 %
= 22.95%
⇒Probability that a student is male and attends concert = 22.95%
(c)
Probability that a student is female and does not attend concert = [tex]\frac{29.4x}{100x}[/tex] × 100%
= 29.4%
⇒Probability that a student is female and does not attend concert = 29.4%
(d)
Probability that a student attends concerts = [tex]\frac{22.95x + 19.6x}{100x}[/tex] ×100%
= [tex]\frac{42.55}{100}[/tex] ×100%
= 42.55%
⇒Probability that a student attends concerts = 42.55%
