An engineering school reports that 52% of its students are male (M), 33% of its students are between the ages of 18 and 20 (A), and that 27% are both male and between the ages of 18 and 20. What is the probability of a random student being chosen who is a female and is not between the ages of 18 and 20?

Treating these probabilities as Venn probabilities, it is found that there is a 0.42 = 42% probability of a random student being chosen who is a female and is not between the ages of 18 and 20.

The probability of a random student being chosen who is a female and is not between the ages of 18 and 20 is given by:

Inserting the probabilities we found:

0.42 = 42% probability of a random student being chosen who is a female and is not between the ages of 18 and 20.

42%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: P(M) = 0.52, P(A) = 0.33, and P(M and A) = 0.27.

Find: P(not M and not A).

P(not M and not A) = 1 − P(M or A)

P(not M and not A) = 1 − (P(M) + P(A) − P(M and A))

P(not M and not A) = 1 − (0.52 + 0.33 − 0.27)

P(not M and not A) = 1 − 0.58

P(not M and not A) = 0.42

answer: 45
