Math Problem Statement
If a student is chosen at random, what is the probability that: Round all answers to 3 decimal places as needed. d) The student competed in Bolero, given they competed in Bachata?
Solution
We are asked to find the conditional probability that a randomly selected student competed in Bolero, given that they competed in Bachata. This is a conditional probability problem and can be represented as:
Step 1: Calculate
This is the total number of students who competed in Bachata. To find this, we sum all the values in the Bachata circle:
- Students who only competed in Bachata: 297
- Students who competed in Bachata and FoxTrot: 272
- Students who competed in Bachata and Bolero: 360
- Students who competed in all three (Bachata, Bolero, and FoxTrot): 322
So, the total number of students who competed in Bachata is:
Step 2: Calculate
This is the number of students who competed in both Bolero and Bachata. To find this, we sum the following regions in the diagram:
- Students who competed in both Bachata and Bolero: 360
- Students who competed in all three (Bachata, Bolero, and FoxTrot): 322
Thus, .
Step 3: Apply the formula
Now we can substitute these values into the conditional probability formula:
Let's compute this.The probability that a student competed in Bolero, given that they competed in Bachata, is approximately or 54.5%.

- What is the probability that a student competed in FoxTrot, given that they competed in Bolero?
- How many students competed in only one dance style?
- What is the probability that a randomly selected student competed in all three styles?
- What is the probability that a student competed in at least two dance styles?
- How many students competed in exactly two dance styles?
Tip: For conditional probability, always focus on the "given" event first, narrowing down the sample space accordingly.
