A standard deck of playing cards (with jokers removed) consists of 52cards in four suits鈥攃lubs, diamonds, hearts, and spades. Each suit has 13cards, with denominations ace,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10jack, queen, and king. The jacks, queens, and kings are referred to as 鈥渇ace cards.鈥 Imagine that we shuffle the deck thoroughly and deal one card. The two-way table summarizes the sample space for this chance process based on whether or not the card is a face card and whether or not the card is a heart.

Are the events 鈥渉eart鈥 and 鈥渇ace card鈥 independent? Justify your answer.

The Pew Research Center asked a random sample of 2024adult cell-phone owners from the United States their age and which type of cell phone they own: iPhone, Android, or other (including non-smartphones). The two-way table summarizes the data.

Suppose we select one of the survey respondents at random.

a. Find P(iPhone|18-34).

b. Use your answer from part (a) to help determine if the events 鈥渋Phone鈥 and "18-34"are independent.

Researchers carried out a survey of fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-grade students in Michigan. Students were asked whether good grades, athletic ability, or being popular was most important to them. The two-way table summarizes the survey data.

Suppose we select one of these students at random.

a. Find P(athletic|5thgrade).

b. Use your answer from part (a) to help determine if the events 鈥5th grade鈥 and 鈥渁thletic鈥 are independent.
