If a student is known to be female, what is the probability that she is going to college?

• 0.53

• 0.42

• 0.56

• 0.59

Which is more likely: a person going to college given they are male, or a person being male given they are going to college?

• Going to college given they are male

• Neither is likely

• Being male given they are going to college

• Both are equally likely

What is the formula for calculating the probability of A given B using counts?

• P(A and B) / P(A)

• Number of elements in A / Number of elements in B

• Number of elements in A and B / Number of elements in B

• P(A) / P(B)
