GPA and Class
A statistics professor classifies his students according to their grade point average (GPA) and their class rank. GPA is on a 0.0-4.0 scale, and class rank is defined as the under class (freshmen and sophomores) and the upper class (juniors and seniors). One student is selected at random.
GPA
Class Under 2.0 2.0 - 3.0 Over 3.0
Under 0.05 0.25 0.10
Upper 0.10 0.30 0.20
106. {GPA and Class Narrative} If the student selected is in the upper class, what is the probability that her GPA is between 2.0 and 3.0?
107. {GPA and Class Narrative} What is the probability that the student is in the lower class and has GPA over 3.0?
