Chapter 5: Q 59. (page 311)

Twenty of a sample of 275 students say they are vegetarians. Of the vegetarians, 9eat both fish and eggs, 3 eat eggs but not fish, and 8 eat neither. Choose one of the vegetarians at random. What is the probability

that the chosen student eats neither fish nor eggs?

(a) 8/275=0.03 (c) 8/20=0.4 (e) 1

(b) 20/275=0.07 (d)

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct option is (c) 8/20=0.4

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given Information

There are 275 pupils in total. There are 20 vegetarian students in the class.

A total of 9 vegetarian students eat both fish and eggs. A total of 3 vegetarian students consume eggs but not fish. There are 7 vegetarian students who eat neither.

Step 3. Calculation

Total sample space = 20

Both fish and eggs should be consumedP(A鈭�B)=9

P(studentseatsneitherfishnoreggs)=nooffavorableoutcomesnumberofpossibleoutcomes

P(studentseatsneitherfishnoreggs)=8/20

P(studentseatsneitherfishnoreggs)=0.4

The probability that chosen P(studentseatsneitherfishnoreggs)=0.4

Crawl before you walk (3.2) At what age do babies learn to crawl? Does it take longer to learn in the winter, when babies are often bundled in clothes that

restrict their movement? Perhaps there might even be an association between babies鈥� crawling age and the average temperature during the month they first try to crawl (around six months after birth). Data were collected from parents who brought their babies to the University of Denver Infant Study Center to participate in one of a number of studies. Parents reported the birth month and the age at which their child was first able to creep or crawl a distance of four feet within one minute. Information was obtained on 414 infants (208 boys and 206 girls). Crawling age is given in weeks, and average temperature (in 掳F) is given for the month that is six months after the birth month.8 Analyze the relationship between average crawling age and average temperature. What do you conclude about when babies learn to crawl?

Government data show that 8% of adults are full-time college students and that 30% of adults are age 55 or older. Since (0.08)(0.30)=0.024, can we conclude that about 2.4% of adults are college students55 or older? Why or why not?

Late flights An airline reports that 85% of its flights arrive on time. To find the probability that its next four flights into LaGuardia Airport all arrive on time, can

we multiply (0.85)(0.85)(0.85)(0.85)? Why or why not?

Income tax returns Here is the distribution of the adjusted gross income (in thousands of dollars) reported on individual federal income tax returns

in a recent year:

(a) What is the probability that a randomly chosen return shows an adjusted gross income of \(50,000 or more?

(b) Given that a return shows an income of at least \)50,000,what is the conditional probability that the income is at least $100,000?
