A college surveys 300 graduates and finds 98 graduated with honors and 207 had one or both parents graduate from college. Of the 98 students with honors, 79 had one or both parents graduate from college. Find the probability that a randomly chosen graduate from these 300 graduated with honors given that neither parent graduated from college.

20.43% probability that a randomly chosen graduate from these 300 graduated with honors given that neither parent graduated from college.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

Graduated with honors:

98 students graduated with honors. Of those, 79 had at least one parent graduating from college. So 98 - 79 = 19 did not.

Of 300 students, 207 had one or both parents graduate from college. So 300 - 207 = 93 did not have at least one parent graduating.

Find the probability that a randomly chosen graduate from these 300 graduated with honors given that neither parent graduated from college.

Of the 93 with no graduated parent, 19 earned honors

19/93 = 0.2043

20.43% probability that a randomly chosen graduate from these 300 graduated with honors given that neither parent graduated from college.
