Suppose that 48% of high school students would admit to lying at least once to a teacher during the past year and that 25% of students are male and would admit to lying at least once to a teacher during the past year.20 Assume that 50% of the students are male. What is the probability that a randomly selected student is either male or would admit to lying to a teacher, during the past year? Be sure to show your work and indicate all the rules that you use to find your answer.

0.73 = 73% probability that a randomly selected student is either male or would admit to lying to a teacher, during the past year.

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to treat these events as Venn probabilities, considering that:

Event A: Lying to the teacher.

Event B: Male

48% of high school students would admit to lying at least once to a teacher during the past year and that 25% of students are male and would admit to lying at least once to a teacher during the past year

This means that

Assume that 50% of the students are male.

This means that

What is the probability that a randomly selected student is either male or would admit to lying to a teacher, during the past year?

This is:

Considering the values we were given:

0.73 = 73% probability that a randomly selected student is either male or would admit to lying to a teacher, during the past year.

step-by-step explanation:

hey! so 1 (25) out of 4 (100) is 25 so your answer is 25%. it's like quarters!
