Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's break down the problem by analyzing the Venn diagram and solving each part:
Definitions:
- is the event "the student is in the Chess Club."
- is the event "the student is in the Science Club."
The Venn diagram shows the memberships:
- Chess only: Raina, Charlie, Elsa, Lucy, Pablo, Carlos (6 students)
- Both Chess and Science: Josh, Heather, Jina (3 students)
- Science only: Lisa, Keith, Kelko, Ann (4 students)
- Neither: Leila (1 student)
Total students: 14 (including Leila).
(a) Find the probabilities of the events:
-
: Probability the student is in the Chess Club.
- Students in the Chess Club: .
- .
-
: Probability the student is in the Science Club.
- Students in the Science Club: .
- .
-
: Probability the student is in both clubs.
- Students in both clubs: Josh, Heather, Jina (3 students).
- .
-
: Probability the student is in the Chess Club given they are in the Science Club.
- This is calculated as .
-
: This is just .
- .
(b) Select the probability that is equal to :
- The correct answer is since it matches .
