Question

question 33 (1 point) saved exhibit 7 - 6 a student is randomly selected from a large college. define the events c = {the student owns a cell phone} and i = {the student owns an ipod}. refer to exhibit 7 - 6. suppose you know that your friends sister, who attends this college, owns a cell phone and you are wondering what would be the chance that she owns an ipod. what type of probability would this be? a probability of independent events. a probability of dependent events. a conditional probability. a probability of disjoint events.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall probability - type definitions

Conditional probability is the probability of an event occurring given that another event has already occurred. Here, we know that a student's sister (who attends the college) owns a cell - phone, and we want to find the probability that the randomly selected student owns an iPod. This is a situation where one piece of information (sister owning a cell - phone) is given, and we are calculating the probability of another event (student owning an iPod).

Answer:

B. A conditional probability
