I'm sorry, is this some kind of rich person joke that I'm too poor to understand?


Dinbs

I think it meant to say to choose percentage of eating given they play golf. Which I think is 86% calculating (75/87)*100


[deleted]

Absolutely looks like a cut and paste fail from 2 separate, but similar questions. Somebody needs to brace for a bad “rate my professor” review.


Furryballs239

Believe it or not, most professors don’t give a shit about rate my professor at all


potate12323

However at my college each term there would be a reveiw students could opt in to submitting reviews to the dean of any departments and after enough direct complaints about completely trash professors the deans would step in. I was in engineering and my college was ABEC accredited so they were very strict on making sure professors weren't slacking or the entire university could lose the accreditation during surprise audits.


Furryballs239

That is true, but that’s a much more democratic process. Rate my professor is usually garbage


potate12323

Yeah, it is trash. Also the non engineering professors on tenure you couldn't touch with a 10 foot pole. They had a lot a leeway.


Superb_Ad8931

Mine just wanted to get as many of those chili pepper ratings as possible 😉


legalsequel

My MIL is a member of a country club and most of the people who play bridge would NOT also swim- they’re pushing 80 years old! I take our kids to the pool when we visit and there are seldom any old members there, only the young family members.


just_try_it_once-

So you’re leaning towards 12% 🤔


dajjalnextdoor

Can you explain it in a bit more detail especially how we get the 75/87 figure. I'm genuinely interested in knowing.


mightyJasiJ

It is really is just using the probability chain rule. So we are given the probability of A (golfing) and B (eating) as P(A and B) = 75. We are also given probability that someone golf's, P(A) =87. Now using chain rule, P(A and B) = P( B | A) P(A) ---> P( B | A) = P(A and B) / P(A) In other words the probabilty that someone eats at the grill given that they play golf, P( B | A), is P( B | A)=P(A and B) / P(A) = 75/87 = ~.87

If the earth is x kilometers away from the sun, how many bananas does it take to die from radiation poisoning?


_ShadowFyre_

It takes approximately 0.000013 AUs worth of bananas. Assuming an average length of a banana at 7.5 inches (average size based on the USDA definition), and knowing a figure of ~10,000,000 bananas for a lethal dose of radiation, we can find that a lethal dose of radiation is approximately 75,000,000 inches worth of banana. This is 6.25 million feet, or about 1183.7 miles, a value I’ll call the Banana Isotope Length of Lethality, or BILL for short. Now, knowing that an Astronomical Unit (AU) — the average distance from the center of the Earth to the center of the Sun — is 92,955,807.4594 mi, we can divide out our BILL unit to get 0.000012734138 BILLs per 1 AU. In other words, each BILL is about .001% of an AU.


braybrayjay

I have no clue if any of this is true; have a gold either way.


WallStCRE

We all know the average banana ain’t 7.5 inches


map_legend

Lmfao


jizzycumbersnatch

I thought 7.5 is bigger than average. Dammit. Oh wait, when you say "banana " you really do mean "banana". Im still winning!


hahafunnynumber69ye

bro did not resist💀


Naked_Fish69

Lime green final answer


Loa_Sandal

Note that as x approaches 0 the number of bananas needed to die from radiation poisoning increases to infinity.


Darnbeasties

And bonus if you can calculate how many bananas did each swimmer eat


SpoopyBoiye

You would need to eat 40000 bananas in 10 minutes


Darth_Kaladin

There are effectively two categories in question, 75% of category A and 87% of category B. The question is meant to ask the chance of selecting someone in both category A and B if chosen at random. Therefore, 75/100 = 3/4 3/4 x 87/100 = 261/400 261/400 = 0.6525 or 65% Thus 65% is the correct answer.


ExperienceFrequent66

Did you read the question? There’s 4 categories……they only gave you data for 2 unrelated to the others.

Phone Roanoke Country Club and ask them. Even better if you can get them to ask everyone if they swim and get one of them to call you back. Ask them their whole life story. Once that's done, start at the top possibility and do eenie meenie minie mo. Whatever you land on is the answer. Not necessarily the correct one though.

bhlombardy

Assuming that the member selected at random is of the ones who also play golf... Then since you're not supposed to swim after you eat... you can eliminate the 75% that also eat at the grill. That leaves 12% (from the 87%) that just play golf and don't eat.


listeningintent

But isn't that rule about it not being safe to eat after you swim a myth?


badjokesnotfunny

Well yes but some people still believe it so it's not like we have anything better to go off of.

My mom later admitted it was just to force me to sit under the umbrella for a little bit before running off again. Have some time to put on sunscreen or tidy up my ponytail or something in the middle of the summer day


MojoDr619

It may be a myth. But if I swim right after eating a lot I get a stomach ache and I also feel slow swimming. So from personal experience I wouldn't recommend it.

Timmy has 6 apples. He eats 1 and gives 3 to his best friend Sam. Calculate the mass of the sun.


Raxmei

Assuming they made the mistake I think they made writing the question, the answer is 86%. Imagine that halfway through writing the question they changed their mind about what they do at the country club but forgot to go back and change it in the first sentence. This being an automated exam you must do something with those numbers and give an answer, and that's the closest thing to a sensible answer.


DrStrangepants

I think that's right. If you assume that the question is supposed to ask "what % of the golfers also grill," you get 86%. It's a reasonable assumption to make in a two variable question.


DramaticWesley

The first sentence has nothing to do with the second sentence, except both are activities at a country club. Someone made a mistake. So pick C.

PropaneSalesTx

Lets see Paul Allens answer.


Designer-Mirror-7995

The Answer, of course, is Purple. 🟣


radarOverhead

It’s 98%. Everyone knows Chad Thornton III’s motion than every member be able to swim passed with quorum in the 4th sitting of the club’s executive in 2003. Now, since Muffy’s husband Stanhope is still suing the President for his rigging the vote and is taking a stand with his two sons Preston and Alastor by not taking swimming lessons - irregardless of nearly drowning a mere 3 months later, it brings the figure to 98.27%. Given that you must round down due to rule 57.3a, that makes the answer 98%. Obvious.


dvazz

I have written those questions more than I would like to admit. The professor changed the scenario in the beginning and forget to change it at the end. It happens when writing multiple versions. The activities have nothing to do with the math.

DrStrangepants

Wouldn't it be 86%? The portion of grillers+golfers takes up 86% of all golfers on the Venn diagram.


[deleted]

The correct answer is excusme i have to talk to the teacher. If it is online testing, we have report button. In any way someone should get their shit together. And you playing a gussing game aint it. It is probably just calculation of probabilities, should be easy enough.

FewChicken2854

If x has 7 apples, how many oranges does y have?


MorningPants

The error here is just the wrong fill for what activity A and activity B is. If 75% both swim and play bridge, and 87% play bridge, the answer will be 75% * 87% = 65%. I have no idea how y’all are getting 86 here. Edit: ok I was tripped up by the ‘at random… given they play bridge’. If a member is chosen at random, then it isn’t a given that they play bridge. So if the question is ‘what is the chance that a randomly chosen bridge player swims’ then yeah it’s 86%. Either way, I have no business multiplying these numbers.


dbhathcock

The answer is obviously B. Most common activities at a Virginia Country Club are golfing and eating. The children of members swim, so they are not technically members. The number of members that know bridge is a card game AND know the rules is relatively low. Therefore, 12% is the closest value to the real answer of 1.2%. They have a typo in the answer, and left out the decimal point.

The point of word problems is to illustrate situations that might appear in a students life so they can see both the applicability of mathematics and weave it into their general understanding of the world. Unfortunately word problems have over the years just turned into a layer of masking. It is a math problem with a thin layer of nonsense on top to hide the +'s and ÷'s. It exists now to obscure rather than teach. A perfect illustration of "I don't know why we do this, so I made up a reason... oops, turns out my reason is the exact opposite of what it is supposed to be".

Not enough info. Members can obv do more than one activity. Can they do all four activities? Can members do no activity? Are there more activities than swimming, golfing, bridge, and eating?


juessar

The question probably is dividided into an activity and a sport. Ie. If you don’t play golf, you play bridge = 13% play bridge. Similarly, you could calculate from the rest of the numbers how many are swimming, ie. Not grilling. I don’t know I’m not a math teacher.

Here is what the AI Google Bard has to say when given that as a prompt: We can use a Venn diagram to help us solve this problem. First, let's label the four regions of the Venn diagram as follows: Region A: Members who play golf and eat at the grill Region B: Members who play golf but do not eat at the grill Region C: Members who do not play golf but eat at the grill Region D: Members who do not play golf and do not eat at the grill We know that 75% of the members play golf and eat at the grill, so the area of region A is 0.75. We also know that 87% of the members play golf, so the sum of the areas of regions A and B is 0.87. We are asked to find the probability that the member swims, given the member play Bridge. This is the probability that the member is in region B, given that the member is in region C. The probability that the member is in region B is the area of region B divided by the area of region C. The area of region B is 0.87 - 0.75 = 0.12. The area of region C is 1 - 0.87 = 0.13. Therefore, the probability that the member swims, given the member play Bridge is 0.12 / 0.13 = 0.92. Here is a diagram of the Venn diagram: [Image of a Venn diagram with four regions labeled A, B, C, and D. Region A is the largest region, and it is labeled "Golf and Grill." Region B is labeled "Golf Only." Region C is labeled "Grill Only." Region D is labeled "Neither Golf nor Grill."] The answer is obviously 92%

mannamedBenjamin

Let A be the event that a member swims, and let B be the event that a member plays bridge. We are given that 75% of the members play golf and eat at the grill and 87% play golf. Therefore, 12% of the members play golf but do not eat at the grill. Let C be the event that a member plays golf but does not eat at the grill. Then P© = 0.12. We are also given that 65% of the members play bridge and swim and 84% play bridge. Therefore, 19% of the members play bridge but do not swim. Let D be the event that a member plays bridge but does not swim. Then P(D) = 0.19. We want to find P(A|B), which is the probability that a member swims given that the member plays bridge. Using Bayes’ theorem, we have: P(A|B) = P(B|A) * P(A) / P(B) where P(B|A) = P(A∩B) / P(A) = (1 - P(D)) / (1 - P©) = (1 - 0.19) / (1 - 0.75) = 0.8 P(A) = P(A∩B) + P(A∩B’) = 0.65 P(B) = P(B∩A’) + P(B∩A) = P(D) + P(A∩B) = 0.19 + 0.65 = 0.84 Therefore, P(A|B) = (0.8 * 0.65) / 0.84 ≈ 0.62 So, if a member plays bridge, then there is approximately a 62% chance that they swim.
