Your friend is studying for an exam. Based on your knowledge of your friend, you believe that if they study for the exam, there is an 80% probability they will be able to pass it. On the other hand, if they do not study, there is only a 30% probability they will be able to pass. Your friend is not a particularly industrious student, and you initially believe there is only a 60% probability your friend will study for the exam. A few days later your friend happily proclaims that they passed the exam. Thus, find the probability that they did in fact study for the test with this knowledge in hand.

0.8 = 80% probability that they did in fact study for the test.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Passed the exam.

Event B: Studied.

Probability of passing the test:

80% of 60%(Studied).

30% of 100 - 60 = 40%(did not study). So

Probability of passing the test studying:

80% of 60%, so:

Find the probability that they did in fact study for the test with this knowledge in hand.

0.8 = 80% probability that they did in fact study for the test.

the clues that signal the reader should change tone are the punctuation marks, the grammatical signs. for example, the quotation marks at the beginning of something someone else said literally or the exclamation marks.

the tone of the first line of dialogue until "gettysburg" is a kind tone, a tone of advise. the narrator is trying to the other person in doing something he or she obviously is finding hard to do by giving a piece of advise and bringing up a memory of a successful similar case.

the clue that the reader understand how to read the word "bang" is the exclamation mark. it gives the word a surprise tone, a strong accent.

the best tone for reading the word "bang" is an exciting tone, a surprise one, even a loud one.

the words that should be read with a formal tone are the ones that give factual information. the sentence: mister lincoln couldn't think of anything to say at the gettysburg" gives information about an event and it needs to be read formally, also, when the narrator wants to transmit calmness, a formal and slow tone is needed, because people also transmit messages with the vibrations of our voices and tones.
