Chapter 3: Q3.17 (page 98)

In a certain community, 36 percent of the families own a dog and 22 percent of the families that own a dog also own a cat. In addition, 30 percent of the families own a cat. What is (a) the probability that a randomly selected family owns both a dog and a cat? (b) the conditional probability that a randomly selected family owns a dog given that it owns a cat?

Short Answer

Expert verified

P(DogandCat)=0.0792

P(DogICat)=0.264

Step by step solution

01

Given Information of a & b

Given that in a certain community, 36 percent of the families own a dog and 22 percent of the families that own a dog also own a cat

We have to find the probability that a randomly selected family owns both a dog and a cat

Also, find the conditional probability that a randomly selected family owns a dog given that it owns a cat

02

Explanation

03

Explanation-a

a)P(Dog and Cat)=0.36脳0.22

=0.0792

04

Explanation-b

b)P(Dog鈭�cat)=P(Dog and Cat)P(Cat)

P(cat)=0.30given

P(Dog鈭�cat)=0.36脳0.220.30

=0.264

05

Final Answer of a & b

(a) P(Dog and Cat)=0.0792

(b) P(Dog鈭�cat)=0.264

A worker has asked her supervisor for a letter of recommendation for a new job. She estimates that there is an 80 percent chance that she will get the job if she receives a strong recommendation, a 40 percent chance if she receives a moderately good recommendation, and a 10 percent chance if she receives a weak recommendation. She further estimates that the probabilities that the recommendation will be strong, moderate, and weak are .7, .2, and .1, respectively.

(a) How certain is she that she will receive the new job offer?

(b) Given that she does receive the offer, how likely should she feel that she received a strong recommendation? a moderate recommendation? a weak recommendation?

(c) Given that she does not receive the job offer, how likely should she feel that she received a strong recommendation? a moderate recommendation? a weak recommendation?

In any given year, a male automobile policyholder will make a claim with probability pm and a female policyholder will make a claim with probability pf, where pf 鈮�pm. The fraction of the policyholders that are male is 伪, 0 <伪< 1. A policyholder is randomly chosen. If Ai denotes the event that this policyholder will make a claim in year i, show that P(A2|A1) > P(A1)
