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.

Keep on tossing The figure below shows the results of two different sets of 5000coin tosses. Explain what this graph says about chance behavior in the short run and the long run.

Recycling Do most teens recycle? To find out, an AP Statistics class asked an SRS of 100 students at their school whether they regularly recycle. How many students in the sample would need to say 鈥淵es鈥 to provide convincing evidence that more than half of the students at the school recycle? The Fathom dot plot below shows the results of taking 200 SRSs of 100 students from a population in which the true proportion who recycle is 0.50.

(a) Suppose 55 students in the class鈥檚 sample say 鈥淵es.鈥 Explain why this result does not give convincing evidence that more than half of the school鈥檚 students recycle.

(b) Suppose 63 students in the class鈥檚 sample say 鈥淵es.鈥 Explain why this result gives strong evidence that a majority of the school鈥檚 students recycle.

Spinning a quarter With your forefinger, hold a new quarter (with a state featured on the reverse) upright, on its edge, on a hard surface. Then flick it with your other forefinger so that it spins for some time before it falls and comes to rest. Spin the coin a total of 25 times, and record the results.

(a) What鈥檚 your estimate for the probability of heads? Why?

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

Urban voters The voters in a large city are 40%white, 40%black, and 20%Hispanic. (Hispanics may be of any race in official statistics, but here we are speaking of political blocks.) A mayoral candidate anticipates attracting 30%of the white vote, 90%of the black vote, and 50%of the Hispanic vote. Draw a tree diagram to represent this situation. What percent of the overall vote does the candidate expect to get? Use the four-step process to guide your work.

Teens online We saw in an earlier example (page 319) that 93% of teenagers are online and that 55% of online teens have posted a profile on a social-networking site. Of online teens with a profile, 76% have placed comments on a friend鈥檚 blog. What percent of all teens are online, have a profile, and comment on a friend鈥檚 blog? Show your work.
