Short Answer

Expert verified

The probability is 0.3656

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given Information

The table is:

02

Step 2. Concept Used

Formula used:Probability=NumberoffavorableoutcomesTotalpossibleoutcomes

03

Step 3. Calculation

The event L denotes that the student's grades are lower than a B.

P(L)is calculated as: P (L) = 2260+800+588/1000= 3656/10000= 0.3656P(L)=2260+800+58810000=365610000=0.3656

0.3656is the required probability

Taking the train According to New Jersey Transit, the 8:00 a.m. weekday train from Princeton to New York City has a 90% chance of arriving on time. To test this claim, an auditor chooses 6 weekdays at random during a month to ride this train. The train arrives late on 2 of those days. Does the auditor have convincing evidence that the company’s claim isn’t true? Design and carry out a simulation to answer this question. Follow the four-step process.
