Twenty percent of a town's voters favor letting a major discount store move into their neighborhood, \(63 \%\) are against it, and \(17 \%\) are indifferent. What is the probability that a randomly selected voter from this town will either be against it or be indifferent? Explain why this probability is not equal to \(1.0\).
The probability that a student graduating from Suburban State University has student loans to pay off after graduation is .60. The probability that a student graduating from this university has student loans to pay off after graduation and is a male is \(.24\). Find the conditional probability that a randomly selected student from this university is a male given that this student has student loans to pay off after graduation.
Given that \(P(A \mid B)=.44\) and \(P(A\) and \(B)=.33\), find \(P(B)\).
A gambler has four cards - two diamonds and two clubs. The gambler proposes the following game to you: You will leave the room and the gambler will put the cards face down on a table. When you return to the room, you will pick two cards at random. You will win $$\$ 10$$ if both cards are diamonds, you will win $$\$ 10$$ if both are clubs, and for any other outcome you will lose $$\$ 10$$. Assuming that there is no cheating, should you accept this proposition? Support your answer by calculating your probability of winning $$\$ 10$$.
How is the multiplication rule of probability for two dependent events different from the rule for two independent events?
