Question

Let M be the event that a randomly chosen student passes a math test. Let S be the event that a randomly chosen student studies every day. Identify the answer which expresses the following with correct notation: The probability that a randomly chosen student studies every day, given that the student passes a math test Select the correct answer below:

a. P(MS)
b. P(M AND S)
c. P(S) AND P(M)
d. P(SM)

Answer 1

The correct answer is a. P(MS).

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is a. P(MS).

In this context, P(MS) represents the probability that a randomly chosen student studies every day, given that the student passes a math test. It combines the probabilities of both events M and S. Option b, P(M AND S), represents the probability that a randomly chosen student both passes a math test and studies every day, which is not what the question is asking for.
