Chapter 5: Probability: What Are the Chances?
Q. 72
A standard deck of playing cards (with jokers removed) consists of cards in four suits鈥攃lubs, diamonds, hearts, and spades. Each suit has cards, with denominations ace,jack, 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.
Q. 73
The Pew Research Center asked a random sample of adult 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 .
b. Use your answer from part (a) to help determine if the events 鈥渋Phone鈥 and are independent.

Q. 74
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.

Rolling dice Suppose you roll two fair, six-sided dice鈥攐ne red and one green. Are the events 鈥渟um is 7鈥 and 鈥済reen die shows a 4鈥 independent? Justify your answer. (See Figure 5.2 on page 314 for the sample space of this chance process.)

Q .77.
Free downloads? Illegal music downloading is a big problem: 29% of Internet users download music files, and 67% of downloaders say they don鈥檛 care if the music is copyrighted. 18 Find the probability that a randomly selected Internet user downloads music and doesn鈥檛 care if it鈥檚 copyrighted.
Q .78.
. 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. Find the probability that a randomly selected adult belongs to a health club and goes there at least twice a week.
Q .79.
Box of chocolates According to Forrest Gump, 鈥淟ife is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you鈥檙e gonna get.鈥 Suppose a candymaker offers a special 鈥淕ump box鈥 with 20 chocolate candies that look alike. In fact, 14 of the candies have soft centers and 6 have hard centers. Suppose you choose 3 of the candies from a Gump box at random. Find the probability that all three candies have soft centers
