Answer:

The answer is "Option A".

Step-by-step explanation:

Dormitory students.

Please find the complete question in the attched file.

[tex]p (E_1) =0.73[/tex]indicates that teachers live in the west hall.

[tex]p (E_2) =0.27[/tex] indicates that the students live in the south tower.

[tex]P (D|E_1) =0.25[/tex] describes the likelihood which West Hall students received free coupons.

[tex]P (D|E_2) =0.19[/tex] indicates that students in the south tower were given free coupons.

[tex]P(D)=P(D|E_1)P(E_1)+P(D|E_2)P(E_2)\\\\=0.25 \times 0.73 +0.19 \times 0.27\\\\=0.234[/tex]

To maximize the probability that the person selected at random will receive the coupon, multiply the following numbers by the possibility of success of the coupon:
