Half of a class took Form A of a test, and half took Form B. Of the students who took form B, 39% passed. What is the probability that a randomly chosen student took Form B and did not pass?

0.305 = 30.5% probability that a randomly chosen student took Form B and did not pass

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Took Form B.

Event B: Did not pass.

Half of a class took Form A of a test, and half took Form B.

This means that

Of the students who took form B, 39% passed.

So 100 - 39 = 61% did not pass, which means that .

What is the probability that a randomly chosen student took Form B and did not pass?

0.305 = 30.5% probability that a randomly chosen student took Form B and did not pass

answer:   segregation violated the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment, which holds that no state can “deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

details/explanation:

brown v. board of education of topeka, decided by the us supreme court in 1954, ruled that all americans are entitled to the same civil liberties and protections in regard to access to education. until that decision, it was legal to segregate schools according to race, so that black students could not attend the same schools as white students.   an older supreme court decision, plessy v. ferguson (1896), had said that separate, segregated public facilities were acceptable as long as the facilities offered were equal in quality.   in the case of brown v. board of education, that standard was challenged and defeated.   segregation was shown to create inequality, and the supreme court unanimously ruled segregation to be unconstitutional.

the ruling was important in advancing civil rights because it affirmed that the 14th amendment applies to all rights and privileges of citizens, including access to   education.   this was being violated by states whose laws supported the segregation of schools.   section 1 of the 14th amendment reads as follows:
