200

2:

A math student who is also English student -> 100

Total students who study Math = 100+400=500

Hence, probability = 100/500 = 0.20

3:

An English student who also studies MATH ;P(English | Mathematics) = 100

Total english student = 400

Probability thus = 100/400 =0.25

4: We can rephrase problem 2 as Probability of student studing english given that he/she studies Maths

P(English |Math) . Similarly for problem 3 as Probability of student maths given that he/she studies
English , P(Math |English)

5:

Total math student = 500

Total student in entire school = 1000

Probability =500/1000 = 0.5

6:

Total english student = 400

Total student in entire school = 1000


Probability =400/1000 = 0.4

7:

P(English intersection Mathematics) = P(Mathematics only ) * P(English| Mathematics)

= 0.4*0.25

=0.10

For the total possibility of 36 , fundamental counting principle is used. Total outcome is 6*6 =36

Similarly permutation counting tells selecting 2 out of 4 is basically 4C2 possibility when order is not
important. Hence, 4!/2!*2! = 6 possibilities

12:

So assuming Charles is a male. Number of possibility of female committee remains same, nuber of male
in the committee now can be chosen as 5C2 -> 5!/3!*2! = 2*5 =10 Ways. Thus now, fundamental princile
will give us total possible committee as 10*6 = 60 possible committee.
