Conditional Probability in Student Grades

The video tutorial explains how to determine two conditional probabilities using reasoning and data from a table. It covers calculating the probability of a student receiving a C given they are female, and the probability of a student being female given they received a C. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the given conditions and using fractions, decimals, and percentages to express probabilities.

What is the main task described in the video?

• To analyze the gender distribution.

• To find the total number of students.

• To calculate two conditional probabilities.

• To determine the average grade of students.

What is the first conditional probability we need to find?

• Probability of being male given a student received a C.

• Probability of receiving a B given the student is female.

• Probability of receiving a C given the student is female.

• Probability of being female given a student received a B.

How many females received a C in the class?

• 20

• 15

• 12

• 10

What is the probability of receiving a C given the student is female, expressed as a fraction?

• 3/8

• 12/35

• 1/3

• 12/32

What is the decimal representation of the probability of receiving a C given the student is female?

• 0.25

• 0.5

• 0.375

• 0.3429

What is the second conditional probability we need to find?

• Probability of receiving a C given the student is male.

• Probability of being female given the student received a C.

• Probability of receiving a B given the student is male.

• Probability of being male given a student received a C.

How many students in total received a C?

• 40

• 30

• 32

• 35

What is the probability of being female given the student received a C, expressed as a fraction?

• 12/35

• 3/8

• 12/32

• 1/4

What is the decimal representation of the probability of being female given the student received a C?

• 0.3429

• 0.25

• 0.375

• 0.5

Why are the decimal and percentage representations of the second probability exact?

• Because they are rounded.

• Because they are approximations.

• Because the fraction simplifies to a terminating decimal.

• Because they are estimates.
