Chapter 5: Q 80. (page 330)

At the gym Suppose that 10%of adults belong to health clubs, and 40% of these health club members go to the club at least twice a week. What percent of all adults go to a health club at least twice a week? Write the information given in terms of probabilities, and use the general multiplication rule.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The percentage of all adults go to health club is 4%

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given Information

10% of adults subscribe to a fitness club, with 40% of these members going at least twice a week.

02

Step 2. Concept Used

Multiplication rule P(A鈭�B)=P(A鈭�B)脳P(B/A)

03

Step 3. Calculation

According to the inquiry, P(healthclub)=10%=0.10

P(atleasttwice/healthclub)=40%=0.40

Use the rule of multiplication.

P(A鈭�B)=P(A)脳P(B/A)

As a result, the following was obtained:

P(healthclub鈭�atleasttwice)=P(atleasttwice)脳P(healthclub/atleasttwice)

=0.10脳0.40=0.04=4%

As a result, 4% of all individuals visit a health club at least twice a week.

Get rich A survey of 4826 randomly selected young adults (aged 19 to 25) asked, 鈥淲hat do you think are the chances you will have much more than a middle-class income at age 30?鈥� The two-way table shows the responses.

14 Choose a survey respondent at random.

(a) Given that the person selected is male, what鈥檚 the probability that he answered 鈥渁lmost certain鈥�?

(b) If the person selected said 鈥渟ome chance but probably not,鈥� what鈥檚 the probability that the person is female?

Common names The Census Bureau says that the 10 most common names in the United States are (in order) Smith, Johnson, Williams, Brown, Jones, Miller, Davis, Garcia, Rodriguez, and Wilson. These names account for 9.6% of all U.S. residents. Out of curiosity, you look at the authors of the textbooks for your current courses. There are 9 authors in all. Would you be surprised if none of the names of these authors were among the 10most common? (Assume that authors鈥� names are independent and follow the same probability distribution as the names of all residents.)

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?

Inspecting switches A shipment contains 10,000switches. Of these, 1000 are bad. An inspector draws 2 switches at random, one after the other.

(a) Draw a tree diagram that shows the sample space of this chance process.

(b) Find the probability that both switches are defective.

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.
