On February 28,2013, a Field Poll Survey reported that 61%of California registered voters approved of allowing two people of the same gender to marry and have regular marriage laws apply to them. Among 18to39year olds (California registered voters), the approval rating was 78%. Six in ten California registered voters said that the upcoming Supreme Court’s ruling about the constitutionality of California’s Proposition 8was either very or somewhat important to them. Out of those CA registered voters who support same-sex marriage, 75%say the ruling is important to them.

In this problem, let: •

C = California registered voters who support same-sex marriage. • B = California registered voters who say the Supreme Court’s ruling about the constitutionality of California’s Proposition 8 is very or somewhat important to them • A = California registered voters who are 18to39years old.

a. Find P(C).

b. Find P(B).

c. Find P(C|A).

d. Find P(B|C).

e. In words, what is C|A?

f. In words, what is B|C?

g. Find P(C AND B).

h. In words, what is C AND B?

i. Find P(C OR B).

j. Are C and B mutually exclusive events? Show why or why not

A jar of 150 jelly beans contains 22 red jelly beans, 38

yellow, 20 green, 28 purple, 26 blue, and the rest are orange.

Let B = the event of getting a blue jelly bean

Let G = the event of getting a green jelly bean.

Let O = the event of getting an orange jelly bean.

Let P = the event of getting a purple jelly bean.

Let R = the event of getting a red jelly bean.

Find P(B).

Three professors at George Washington University did an experiment to determine if economists are more selfish than other people. They dropped 64stamped, addressed envelopes with $10cash in different classrooms on the George Washington campus. 44%were returned overall. From the economics classes 56%of the envelopes were returned. From the business, psychology, and history classes 31%were returned.

Let:R = money returned;E = economics classes; O = other classes

a. Write a probability statement for the overall percent of money returned.

b. Write a probability statement for the percent of money returned out of the economics classes.

c. Write a probability statement for the percent of money returned out of the other classes.

d. Is money being returned independent of the class? Justify your answer numerically and explain it.

e. Based upon this study, do you think that economists are more selfish than other people? Explain why or why not. Include numbers to justify your answer.

In a standard deck, there are 52cards. Twelve cards are face cards (F) and 40cards are not face cards (N). Draw two cards, one at a time, without replacement. The tree diagram is labeled with all possible probabilities.

a. Find P(FN OR NF).

b. Find P(NF).

c. Find P (at most one face card).

Hint: "At most one face card" means zero or one face card.

d. Find P (at least on face card).

Hint: "At least one face card" means one or two face cards.

Let event A = learning Spanish. Let event B = learning German. Then A AND B = learning Spanish and German.Suppose P(A) = 0.4 and P(B) = 0.2. P(A AND B) = 0.08. Are events A and B independent? Hint: You must show ONE of the following:

• P(A|B) = P(A)

• P(B|A) = P(B)

• P(A AND B) = P(A)P(B)
