Question:

Mac or PC? A recent census at a major university revealed that 40% of its students mainly used Macintosh computers (Macs). The rest mainly used PCs. At the time of the census, 67% of the school’s students were undergraduates. The rest were graduate students.

In the census, 23% of respondents were graduate students who said that they used PCs as their main computers. Suppose we select a student at random from among those who were part of the census.

(a) Make a two-way table for this chance process.

(b) Construct a Venn diagram to represent this setting.

(c) Consider the event that the randomly selected student is a graduate student and uses a Mac. Write this event in symbolic form based on your Venn diagram in part (b).

(d) Find the probability of the event described in part (c).

Explain your method.
