An ordinary deck of playing cards has 52 cards. Three are four suits_ spade heart , diamond and club with 13 card in each suit. Spade and clubs are black heart and diamond are red. One of these cards is selected at random. Let R denote the event that a red is chosen . Find the probability that a red card is chosen, and express your answer in probability that a red card is chosen and express your answer in probability natation
In Exercises 5.16-5.26, express your probability answers as a decimal rounded to three places.
Cardiovascular Hospitalizations. From the Florida State Center for Health Statistics report Women and Cardiovascular Disease Hospitalization, we obtained the following table showing the number of female hospitalizations for cardiovascular disease, by age group, during one year.

One of these case records is selected at random. Find the probability that the woman was
(a) in her 50s.
(b) less than 50 years old.
(c) between 40 and 69 years old, inclusive.
(d) 70 years old or older.
Interpret each of the following probability statements, using the frequentist interpretation of probability.
(a). The probability is 0.487 that a newborn baby will be a girl.
(b). The probability of a single ticket winning a prize in the Powerball lottery is 0.031.
In each of Exercises 5.167-5.172, we have provided the number of trials and success probability for Bernoulli trials. LetX denote the total number of successes. Determine the required probabilities by using
(a) the binomial probability formula, Formula 5.4 on page 236. Round your probability answers to three decimal places.
(b) TableVII in AppendixA. Compare your answer here to that in part (a).
Following are two probability histograms of binomial distributions. For each, specify whether the success probability is less than, equal to, or greater than 0.5.
