Three drivers competed in the same fifteen drag races. The mean and standard deviation for the race times of each of the drivers are given. Driver A had a mean race time of 4.01 seconds and a standard deviation of 0.05 seconds. Driver B had a mean race time of 3.96 seconds and a standard deviation of 0.12 seconds. Driver C had a mean race time of 3.99 seconds and a standard deviation of 0.19 seconds. Which driver’s race times were the most variable?

-6 is the correct option from the above given options

85.560%

step-by-step explanation:

conditional probability is defined as:

p(a|b) = p(a∩b) / p(b)

in other words, the probability that a occurs, given that b has occurred = the probability that both a and b occur / the probability that b occurs.

in this example:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = p(turns 64 & turns 44) / p(turns 44).

if someone turns 64, they must have already turned 44, so:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = p(turns 64) / p(turns 44)

on page 42, we see that of the original 100,000, 94944 turn 44, and 81234 turn 64.   therefore:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = 81234 / 94944

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = 0.85560

nope.   happens to me as well.
