Given that students attend a final review, they have a 95% chance of passing the final exam, and given the don't attend the final review sessions, they have a 20% chance of passing the final exam. The professor estimates that 70% of the students will attend the final review session. Let event A be that a student attends the review session and event P be that a student passes the final. Create a tree diagram.

Given that students attend a final review, they have a 95% chance of passing the final exam, and given the don't attend the final review sessions, they have a 20% chance of passing the final exam. The professor estimates that 70% of the students will attend the final review session. Let event A be that a student attends the review session and event P be that a student passes the final. What is the probability that a student both attended the final review session and passed the final.

Given that students attend a final review, they have a 95% chance of passing the final exam, and given the don't attend the final review sessions, they have a 20% chance of passing the final exam. The professor estimates that 70% of the students will attend the final review session. Let event A be that a student attends the review session and event P be that a student passes the final. Given that a student passes the final, what is the probability they attended the review session?

Suppose it is known that 36% of young adults (ages 18-31) live in their parents home. Of the young adults who live in their parents' home, 45% are unemployed. 31% of young adults who do not live in their parents' home are unemployed. Let A be the event that a young adult lives in their parents' home, and let B be the event that a young adult is unemployed. If a young adult selected at random is unemployed, what is the probability that they do not live in their parents' home?

P(X=0): 0.3818

P(X=1): 0.5091

P(X=2): 0.1091

Suppose that 13% of people in the U.S. are senior citizens (65 years old or older). 22% of people in the U.S. get the flu each year. It is known 14% of senior citizens get the flu each year. Find the probability that a randomly selected person is a senior citizen and will get the flu this year?
