A Titanic disaster Refer to Exercise 64.

(a) Find P(survived | second class).

(b) Find P(survived).

(c) Use your answers to (a) and (b) to determine whether the events 鈥渟urvived鈥 and 鈥渟econd class鈥 are independent. Explain your reasoning.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (a) P (survived | Second class) =0.3602

Part (b) P (survived)=0.3662

Part (c) Yes, not independent.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1. Given Information

The 595kids who answered to a school survey regarding breakfast eating are shown in the two-way table below. Assume we choose a student at random. Consider the following events: B: eats breakfast on a regular basis, and M: is a man.

02

Part (a) Step 2. Concept Used

The number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes equals probability. As a result, the following is a definition of condition probability: P(A|B)=P(AandB)P(B)

03

Part (a) Step 3. Calculation

The person is chosen first class, according to the question. Now we must determine the likelihood that the outcome for "survived to second class" will be positive. Therefore,

P(Secondclassandsurvive)=favorableoutcomespossibleoutcomes=941207

P(Firstclass)=favourableoutcomespossibleoutcomes=94+1671207=2611207

As a result, the conditional probability is:

P(surived|Secondclass)=P(Secondclassandsurvived)P(Firstclass)P(surived|Secondclass)=9412072611207=9426103602

As a result, there's a good chance that the result for "survived to second class" will be positive.

P(surived|Secondclass)=0.3602

04

Part (b) Step 1. Calculation

P(survived)=favorableoutcomespossibleoutcomes=44212070.3662

05

Part (c) Step 1. Calculation

Part (a) and part (b),

P(survivedSecondclass)=942610.3602

P(surived)=favourableoutcomespossibleoutcomes=44212070.3660

They should have the same probability, hence they are not independent.

Nickels falling over You may feel it鈥檚 obvious that the probability of a head tossing a coin is about12because the coin has two faces. Such opinions are not always correct. Stand a nickel on the edge on a hard, flat surface. Pound the surface with your hand so that the nickel falls over. Do this 25time, and record the results.

(a) What鈥檚 your estimate for the probability that the

coin falls heads up? Why?

(b) Explain how you could get an even better estimate.

Free throws The figure below shows the results of a basketball player shooting several free throws. Explain what this graph says about chance behavior in the short run and long run.

Ten percent of U.S. households contain 5or more people. You want to simulate choosing a household at random and recording whether or not it contains 5or

more people. Which of these are correct assignments of digits for this simulation? (a) Odd = Yes (5or more people); Even = No (not 5or more people)

(b) 0= Yes; 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9= No

(c) 5= Yes; 0,1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9= No

(d) All three are correct.

(e) Choices (b) and (c) are correct, but (a) is not.

Medical risks Morris鈥檚 kidneys are failing, and he is awaiting a kidney transplant. His doctor gives him this information for patients in his condition: 90% survive the transplant and 10% die. The transplant succeeds in 60% of those who survive, and the other 40% must return to kidney dialysis. The proportions who survive five years are 70% for those with a new kidney and

50% for those who return to dialysis.

(a) Make a tree diagram to represent this setting.

(b) Find the probability that Morris will survive for five years. Show your work.

A Titanic disaster In 1912the luxury liner Titanic, on its first voyage across the Atlantic, struck an iceberg and sank. Some passengers got off the ship in lifeboats, but many died. The two-way table gives information about adult passengers who lived and who died, by class of travel. Suppose we choose an adult passenger at random.

(a) Given that the person selected was in first class, what鈥檚 the probability that he or she survived?

(b) If the person selected survived, what鈥檚 the probability that he or she was a third-class passenger?
