The Commission on Higher Education reported that 47% of college freshmen earn a degree and graduate within 5 years. Assume that the graduation records show that women make up 50% of the students who graduated within 5 years, but only 45% of the students who did not graduate within 5 years. The students who had not graduated within 5 years either dropped out or were still working on their degrees. a. Let A/= the student graduated within 5 years A2 = the student did not graduate within 5 years W = the student is a female student Using the given information, what are the values for P(A1), P(A2), P(W | A₁) and P(W I A2)? P(A₁)= P(WA)=. P(A₂)= P(W|A₂)= b. What is the probability that a female student will graduate within 5 years? Events P(A₁) P(W/A₁) P(A/W) A₁ A₂ P(A/W) P(W) = c. What is the probability that a male student will graduate within 5 years? % of men: d. Given the preceding results, what are the percentage of women and the percentage of men in the entering freshmen class? % of women:
