(a) PB′=0.60.

(b) P(DANDB)=0.2

(c) P(B∣D)=0.67

(d) PDANDB′=0.1

(e)PD∣B′=0.06

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

A student goes to the library. Let events B=the student checks out a book and D= the student checks out a DVD. Suppose that P(B)=0.40,P(D)=0.30and P(D∣B)=0.50.

02

Part (a) Step 1: Calculation

We have

P(B)=0.40P(D)=0.30P(D∣B)=0.50

We need to calculate PB'

PB'=1-P(B)

Substituting the values, we get

PB'=1-0.40

=0.60

03

Part (b) Step 1: Calculation

We have

P(B)=0.40

P(D∣B)=0.50

We need to calculate P(DANDB)

P(DANDB)=P(D∣B)×P(B)

Substituting the values, we get

P(DANDB)=0.5×0.4P(DANDB)=0.2

04

Part (c) Step 1: Calculation

We have

P(B)=0.40P(D)=0.30P(DANDB)=0.2P(D∣B)=0.50

We need to calculate P(B∣D)

role="math" localid="1648032689213" P(B∣D)=P(DANDB)P(D)

Substituting the values, we get

P(B∣D)=0.20.30P(B∣D)=0.67

05

Part (d) Step 1: Calculation

We have

P(B)=0.40P(D)=0.30P(D∣B)=0.50

We need to calculate PDANDB'

PDANDB'=P(D)-P(DANDB)

Substituting the values, we get

PDANDB'=0.3-0.2

PDANDB′=0.3−0.2PDANDB′=0.1

06

Part (e) Step 1: Calculation

We have

P(B)=0.40P(D)=0.30P(DANDB)=0.2P(D∣B)=0.50

We need to calculate PD∣B'

P(B∣D)=P(DANDB)P(D)

Substituting the values, we get

P(B∣D)=0.20.30PD∣B′=0.06

Forty-eight percent of all Californians registered voters prefer life in prison without parole over the death penalty for a person convicted of first degree murder. Among Latino California registered voters, 55%prefer life in prison without parole over the death penalty for a person convicted of first degree murder. 37.6%of all Californians are Latino. In this problem, let: • C = Californians (registered voters) preferring life in prison without parole over the death penalty for a person convicted of first degree murder. L = Latino Californians. Suppose that one Californian is randomly selected.

Find P(L AND C).

Roll a fair, six-sided die. Let A = a prime number of dots is rolled. Let B = an odd number of dots is rolled. Then A = {2, 3, 5} and B = {1, 3, 5}. Therefore, A AND B = {3, 5}. A OR B = {1, 2, 3, 5}. The sample space for rolling a fair die is S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}. Draw a Venn diagram representing this situation.
