Chapter 3: Q. 91 (page 224)

Yand Zare independent events.

a. Rewrite the basic Addition Rule P(YORZ)=P(Y)+P(Z)-P(YANDZ)using the information that Y and Z are independent events.

b. Use the rewritten rule to findP(Z) if P(YORZ)=0.71and PY=0.42

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) P(YORZ)=P(Y)+P(Z)-P(Y)P(Z).

(b)PZ=0.5.

Step by step solution

01

Given information (part a)

Y andZ are independent events.

02

Explanation (part a)

The addition rule states that

PYorZ=PY+PZ-PYandZ

Also, given that Yand Z are independent events

Thus, we have PYandZ=PYPZ

Substituting the value in the above rule, we get

PYorZ=PY+PZ-PYPZ

03

Given information (part b)

Y and Z are independent events.PYorZ=0.71andPY=0.42

04

Explanation (part b)

The addition rule states that

P(YORZ)=P(Y)+P(Z)-P(YANDZ)

Also, given that Y andZ are independent events

Thus, we have PYandZ=PYPZ

Substituting the value in the above rule, we get

P(Y鈭�Z)=P(Y)+P(Z)-P(Y)P(Z)P(Y鈭�Z)=P(Y)+P(Z)-P(Y)P(Z)

Now, we have

PYorZ=0.71PY=0.42

Substituting the values, we get

0.71=0.42+P(Z)-(0.42脳P(Z))0.71=0.42+[P(Z)(1-0.42)]0.71=0.42+0.58P(Z)P(Z)=0.71-0.420.58PZ=0.5

Use the following information to answer the next 12exercises. The graph shown is based on more than 1,70,000interviews done by Gallup that took place from January through December 2012. The sample consists of employed Americans 18years of age or older. The Emotional Health Index Scores are the sample space. We randomly sample one Emotional Health Index Score.

Find the probability that an Emotional Health Index Score is between 80.5 and 82?

1994, the U.S. government held a lottery to issue 55000Green Cards (permits for non-citizens to work legally in the U.S.). Renate Deutsch, from Germany, was one of approximately 6.5million people who entered this lottery. Let G = won green card.

a. What was Renate鈥檚 chance of winning a Green Card? Write your answer as a probability statement.

b. In the summer of 1994, Renate received a letter stating she was one of 110,000finalists chosen. Once the finalists were chosen, assuming that each finalist had an equal chance to win, what was Renate鈥檚 chance of winning a Green Card? Write your answer as a conditional probability statement. Let F = was a finalist.

c. Are G andF independent or dependent events? Justify your answer numerically and also explain why.

d. Are G and F mutually exclusive events? Justify your answer numerically and explain why.
