A total of 48percent of the women and 37percent of the men who took a certain鈥渜uit smoking鈥 class remained nonsmokers for at least one year after completing the class. These people then attended a success party at the end of the year. If 62percent of the original class was male,

(a) what percentage of those attending the party were women?

(b) what percentage of the original class attended the party?

Short Answer

Expert verified

First calculate(b),then using (b)calculate (a)

a) 44.29%

b) 41.18%

Step by step solution

01

Given Information (part b)

What percentage of the original class attended the party?

02

Explanation (part b)

Consider events:

S - a randomly chosen person from the class attends the success party.

M -a randomly chosen person from the class is male

F - a randomly chosen person from the class is female

Given probabilities ( conditioned on being in the class)

Pc(SF)=0.48

Pc(SM)=0.37

Pc(M)=0.62

Men and women are considered competing hypothesis so:

F=McPc(F)=1Pc(M)=38%

Use the version of Bayes formula (obtained by breakingSintoSMandSF)

Pc(S)=P(M)P(SM)+P(F)P(SF)

=0.620.37+0.380.48

=0.4118

03

Final Answer (part b)

The percentage of the original class attended the party is0.4118

04

Given Information (part a)

what percentage of those attending the party were women?

05

Explanation (part a)

Therefore, the answer to b) is41.18%of people from the class attended the success party.

Pc(FS)=Pc(FS)Pc(S)

=Pc(SF)Pc(F)Pc(S)

=0.480.380.4118

=0.4429

06

Final Answer (part a)

percentage of those attending the party were women is0.4429

In a certain village, it is traditional for the eldest son (or the older son in a two-son family) and his wife to be responsible for taking care of his parents as they age. In recent years, however, the women of this village, not wanting that responsibility, have not looked favorably upon marrying an eldest son.

(a) If every family in the village has two children, what proportion of all sons are older sons?

(b) If every family in the village has three children, what proportion of all sons are eldest sons?

Assume that each child is, independently, equally likely to be either a boy or a girl.

In Example3a, what is the probability that someone has an accident in the second year given that he or she had no accidents in the first year?

There is a 60percent chance that event Awill occur. If Adoes not occur, then there is a 10percent chance that Bwill occur. What is the probability that at least one of the events AorBwill occur?

Prove or give a counterexample. If E1 and E2 are independent, then they are conditionally independent given F.

On the morning of September 30,1982, the won鈥搇ost records of the three leading baseball teams in the Western Division of the National League were as follows:

Each team had 3games remaining. All 3of the Giants鈥 games were with the Dodgers, and the 3remaining games of the Braves were against the San Diego Padres. Suppose that the outcomes of all remaining games are independent and each game is equally likely to be won by either participant. For each team, what is the probability that it will win the division title? If two teams tie for first place, they have a playoff game, which each team has an equal chance of winning.
