After Rob Ford, the mayor of Toronto, announced his plans to cut budget costs in late , the Forum Research polled people to measure the mayor’s popularity. Everyone polled expressed either approval or disapproval. These are the results their poll produced:
• In early percent of the population approved of Mayor Ford’s actions in office.
• In mid-percent of the population approved of his actions.
• In late , the percentage of popular approval was measured at percent.
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 ?
c. How many people polled responded that they approved of Mayor Ford in late ?
d. What is the probability that a person supported Mayor Ford, based on the data collected in mid-?
e. What is the probability that a person supported Mayor Ford, based on the data collected in early ?
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) = 0.30 and P(B AND D) = 0.20.
a. Find P(B|D).
b. Find P(D|B).
c. Are B and D independent?
d. Are B and D mutually exclusive?
