this question: 1 point(s) possible
suppose you want to know how likely it is that a student graduates with a bachelors degree in 4 years if they were in the top 10% of their high school graduating class. which of the following probabilities will answer your question?
choose the correct answer below
a. p(earn bs degree or top 10%)
b. p(earn bs degree and top 10%)
c. p(top 10%|earn bs degree)
d. p(earn bs degree|top 10%)

Explanation:

The question asks for the probability of graduating with a 4-year Bachelor's degree given the student was in the top 10% of their high school class. In probability notation, "given" corresponds to a conditional probability, where the condition (top 10%) is the second event in the notation $P(\text{event}|\text{condition})$.

Answer:

D. P(earn BS degree|top 10%)
