Should college athletes be paid? Danica wanted to investigate this by sending out a survey to ask college athletes their opinion. She thinks that the division the athlete competes in might influence the responses so she first groups all NCAA athletes into DI, DII, and DIII. She randomly selected 50 DI athletes, 50 DII athletes, and 50 DIII athletes to complete the survey. What type of sampling method is this?
Stratified random sample
Event A occurs with probability 0.8. The conditional probability that event B occurs, given that A occurs, is 0.5. The probability that both A and B occur is:
