Transcribed Image Text:### Probability of Student Characteristics
#### Table and Venn Diagram Representation
**Student Distribution:**
| | Boys | Not boys | Total |
|---------------|------|----------|-------|
| **Juniors** | 65 | 35 | 100 |
| **Not juniors** | 220 | 145 | 365 |
| **Total** | 285 | 180 | 465 |
**Venn Diagram Explanation:**
- The Venn Diagram visually represents the data where:
- The left circle represents the boys: 220 boys who are not juniors plus 65 boys who are juniors.
- The right circle represents the juniors: 65 juniors who are boys plus 35 juniors who are not boys.
- The overlapping section (65) indicates the number of juniors who are boys.
- The values outside the circles indicate the students who are not juniors nor boys (145).
#### Probability Calculations
1. **Probability that a student selected at random is a boy:**
\( P(B) = \frac{285}{465} \)
2. **Probability that a boy selected at random is a junior:**
\( P(J | B) = \frac{65}{285} \)
3. **Probability of randomly choosing a student who is a junior and a boy:**
\( P(J \cap B) = \frac{65}{465} \)
4. **Probability of randomly choosing a student who is a girl given that she is not a junior:**
\( P(G | J^c) = \frac{145}{365} \)
5. **Probability of randomly selecting a girl (not a boy):**
\( P(G) = \frac{180}{465} \)
These probabilities help in understanding the distribution of different categories (boys, girls, juniors, not juniors) in a given student population.
