� Sixteen funds were Domestic Equity
� Thirteen mutual funds were rated 3-star or less
� Seven of the Domestic Equity fund were rated 4-star
� Two of the Domestic Equity funds were rated 5-star
Assume that one of these 25 mutual funds will be randomly selected in order to learn more about the mutual fund and its investment strategy.
a. What is the probability of selecting a Domestic Equity Fund?
b. What is the probability of selecting a fund with a 4 or 5-star rating?
c. What is the probability of selecting a fund that is both a Domestic Equity Fund and a fund with a 4 or 5-star rating?
d. What is the probability of selecting a fund that is a Domestic Equity Fund or a fund with a 4 or 5-star rating?

(a)0.64

(b)0.48

(c)0.3072

(d)0.76

Step-by-step explanation:

Domestic Equity funds= 16

Funds rated 3-star or less=13

Domestic Equity fund were rated 4-star=7

Domestic Equity funds were rated 5-star=2

Total Sample of Funds taken=25

Domestic Equity Funds+International Equity=25

16+International Equity Funds=25

International Equity or Fixed Income Funds =9

For, Domestic Equity Funds (16)

Funds Rated 5 Stars = 2

Funds Rated 4 Stars=7

Therefore, Funds Rated 3 Stars=16-9=7

Since 13 mutual funds were rated 3 Stars or less,

Domestic Equity Funds Rated 3 Stars + International Equity Rated 3 Stars =13

7+International Equity Rated 3 Stars=13

International Equity Rated 3 Stars=13-7=6

International Equity or Fixed Income(9)

Rated 3 Stars=6

Rated 4 or 5 Stars=9-6=3

(a)Probability of selecting a Domestic Equity Fund

Number of Domestic Equity Funds=16

Total Sample of Funds=25

P(selecting a Domestic Equity Fund) = =0.64

(b)Probability of selecting a fund with a 4 or 5-star rating.

International Equity Rated 4 or 5 Stars=3

Domestic Equity Funds Funds Rated 4 or 5 Stars = 2+7=9

Total Funds Rated 4 or 5 Stars=3+9=12

Therefore:

P(selecting a fund with a 4 or 5-star rating)==0.48

(c)Probability of selecting a fund that is both a Domestic Equity Fund and a fund with a 4 or 5-star rating.

Number of Domestic Equity Funds=16

Total Funds Rated 4 or 5 Stars=12

P(Domestic Equity Fund AND a fund with a 4 or 5-star rating)

= =0.3072

(d)Probability of selecting a fund that is a Domestic Equity Fund or a fund with a 4 or 5-star rating.

Note:

P(A or B)= P(A)+P(B)-P(A AND B)

Number if Domestic Equity Funds rated 4 or 5 Stars=9

= =0.76
