University Degree Requirements Typically Are Different for Bachelor of Science

question 5

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. Some probability calculations show the probability of getting a Bachelor of Arts and Science degree to be P(Arts & Science) = 0.1. The probability of getting a Bachelor of Arts and Science degree, given that a student is getting a Bachelor of Science degree, is:

• A)0.333.
• B)0.167.
• C)0.111.
• D)0.125.
