Multiple Choice

University degree requirements typically are different for Bachelor of Science degrees and Bachelor of Arts degrees. Some students get a Bachelor of Arts and Science degree, which requires meeting graduation criteria for both degrees. A student advisor needs to know the probability a newly admitted student is interested in such a program, so that the student can be properly advised. A study of previous years finds that the probability a student gets a Bachelor of Science degree is P(Science) = 0.3 and the probability a student gets a Bachelor of Arts degree is P(Arts) = 0.6. The study also shows that the probability a student gets no degree is P(no) = 0.2. The probability a student gets only a Bachelor of Arts degree is:
