Question
On a particular day, a fitness studio had 174 customers. For each, an employee recorded whether the customer was new and what class the customer took. The data are summarized in the table below.Yoga Dance Boxing PilatesNew 11 29 23 31Not new 22 33 14 11Suppose a customer from that particular day is chosen at random.Answer each part. Do not round intermediate computations, and round your answers to the nearest hundredth.(If necessary, consult a list of formulas.)(a) What is the probability that the customer was not new and took a dance class?(b) What is the probability that the customer was new, given that the customer took a boxing class?
Solution
(a) To find the probability that the customer was not new and took a dance class, we need to divide the number of not new customers who took a dance class by the total number of customers.
From the table, we can see that the number of not new customers who took a dance class is 33. The total number of customers is 174.
So, the probability is 33/174 = 0.1896551724137931. Rounded to the nearest hundredth, this is 0.19.
(b) To find the probability that the customer was new, given that the customer took a boxing class, we need to divide the number of new customers who took a boxing class by the total number of customers who took a boxing class.
From the table, we can see that the number of new customers who took a boxing class is 23. The total number of customers who took a boxing class is 23 (new) + 14 (not new) = 37.
So, the probability is 23/37 = 0.6216216216216216. Rounded to the nearest hundredth, this is 0.62.
