Chapter 3: Q. 120 (page 231)

Given events JandK:P(J)=0.18;P(K)=0.37;P(JORK)=0.45

a. Find P(JANDK).

b. Find the probability of the complement of event(JANDK)

c. Find the probability of the complement of event(JORK)

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The probability of P(JORK)=0.1

b. The probability of the complement of event P(JANDK)'=0.9

c. The probability of the complement of eventP(JORK)'=0.55

Step by step solution

01

Definition of Probability

The probability of an event occurring. The ratio of the total number of conceivable outcomes to the number of outcomes in an exhaustive collection of equally likely options that create a specific occurrence.

02

(a) We have to find the probability that occured at the same time (part a)

P(JANDK)=P(K)+P(J)-P(JORK)=0.18+0.37-0.45=0.1

03

(b) The probability of the complement of event  can be found as (part b)

P(JANDK)'

=1-P(JANDK)=1-0.1=0.9

04

(c) The probability of a complement of the event is (part c)

P(JORK)'

=1-P(JORK)=1-0.45=0.55

region).

Let A = the event that a country is in Asia.

Let E = the event that a country is in Europe.

Let F = the event that a country is in Africa.

Let N = the event that a country is in North America.

Let O = the event that a country is in Oceania.

Find P(A).

After Rob Ford, the mayor of Toronto, announced his plans to cut budget costs in late 2011, the Forum Research polled 1,046people to measure the mayor鈥檚 popularity. Everyone polled expressed either approval or disapproval. These are the results their poll produced:

鈥� In early 2011,60percent of the population approved of Mayor Ford鈥檚 actions in office.

鈥� In mid-2011,57percent of the population approved of his actions.

鈥� In late 2011, the percentage of popular approval was measured at 42percent.

a. What is the sample size for this study?

b. What proportion in the poll disapproved of Mayor Ford, according to the results from late 2011?

c. How many people polled responded that they approved of Mayor Ford in late 2011?

d. What is the probability that a person supported Mayor Ford, based on the data collected in mid-2011?

e. What is the probability that a person supported Mayor Ford, based on the data collected in early 2011?
