a. Make a two-way table that describes the sample space in terms of events R and N.

b. Find P(R) and P(N).

c. Describe the event 鈥淩 and N鈥 in words. Then find the probability of this event.

d. Explain whyP(RorN)P(R)+P(N)Then use the general addition rule to compute P(R or N).

Part a. Two way table is shown as-

Part b. Probabilities:

For event R, P(R)=0.25

For event N, P(N)0.1111

Part c. Probability for event, P(RandN)0.0278

Part d. Probability for event,P(RorN)0.3333

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1. Given information

R: get a red disk

N: get a disk with the number9

02

Part (a) Step 2. Calculation

For two 鈥 way table,

We are required to make two rows and two columns.

Let us name the rows and columns according to the events R and N.

Rows: red, not red.

Columns: nine, not nine.

Since there are 36disks in total, we have to mention 36 in the bottom left corner of the table.

We know that

There are 9disks of red, blue, green and yellow each.

This implies

There are 9disks which are red in color.

And

Remaining 27disks of blue, green and yellow color.

We also know that

Each color disks are numbered 1-9.

This implies

There is only 1disk which is colored red and numbered nine.

And

Remaining 3disks are numbered 9and of different color.

This also implies

With only 1disk of number 9and colored red, remaining 8disks of red color are numbered 1-8.

Since 3disks of different color are numbered 9, remaining 24disks of different color are numbered 1-8.

Two 鈥 way table is shown as:

03

Part (b) Step 1. Given information

R: get a red disk

N: get a disk with the number9

04

Part (b) Step 2. Calculation

We know that

9out of 36disks are red in color.

When number of favorable outcomes are divided by the number of possible outcomes, we get the probability.

role="math" localid="1663581576492" P(R)=NumberoffavorableoutcomesNumberofpossibleoutcomes=936=14=0.25

We also know that

Each color disks are numbered 1-9.

With 4colors, 4disks are numbered 9among 36disks.

P(N)=NumberoffavorableoutcomesNumberofpossibleoutcomes=436=190.1111

05

Part (c) Step 1. Given information

R: get a red disk

N: get a disk with the number9

06

Part (c) Step 2. Calculation

鈥淩 and N鈥 represents the event that the disk is numbered 9and red in color.

We know that

Out of total 36disks, there are 9disks which are red in color.

Since each color disks are numbered 1-9.

This implies

There is only one disk which is numbered 9and red in color among all 36disks and possesses the event 鈥淩 and N鈥.

Now,

For the probability,

Number of favorable outcomes are divided by the number of possible outcomes.

P(RandN)=NumberoffavarableoutcomesNumberofpossibleoutcomes0.0278

07

Part (d) Step 1. Given information

R: get a red disk

N: get a disk with the number9

08

Part (d) Step 2. Calculation

For any two events,

General addition rule:

P(AorB)=P(A)+P(B)-P(AorB)

According to the statement,

P(RorN)P(R)+P(N)

This is due to the events R and N are not mutually exclusive events.

That means

The occurrence of both the events at the same time is possible.

Such that

P(RandN)0

From Part (b) and (c),

We have

Probabilities,

For event R:

P(R)=936

For event N:

P(N)=436

For event 鈥淩 and N鈥

P(RandN)=136

Apply general addition rule for any two events:

P(RorN)=P(R)+P(N)-P(RandN)=936+436-136=1236=130.3333

BMI (2.2, 5.2, 5.3) Your body mass index (BMI) is your weight in kilograms divided by

the square of your height in meters. Online BMI calculators allow you to enter weight in

pounds and height in inches. High BMI is a common but controversial indicator of being

overweight or obese. A study by the National Center for Health Statistics found that the

BMI of American young women (ages 20 to 29) is approximately Normally distributed

with mean 26.8 and standard deviation 7.4.

27

a. People with BMI less than 18.5 are often classed as 鈥渦nderweight.鈥 What percent of

young women are underweight by this criterion?

b. Suppose we select two American young women in this age group at random. Find the

probability that at least one of them is classified as underweight.

Union and intersection Suppose A and B are two events such that P (A)=0.3, P (B)=0.4, and

P (A鈭狟)=0.58. Find P (A鈭〣).

Gender and political party In January2017, 52%of U.S. senators were Republicans and

the rest were Democrats or Independents. Twenty-one percent of the senators were

females, and 47%of the senators were male Republicans. Suppose we select one of these

senators at random. Define events R: is a Republican and M: is male.

a. Find P(R 鈭 M). Interpret this value in context.

b. Consider the event that the randomly selected senator is a female Democrat or

Independent. Write this event in symbolic form and find its probability.

AARP, and Medicare (4.1) To find out what proportion of Americans support proposed

Medicare legislation to help pay medical costs, the AARP conducted a survey of their

members (people over age 50 who pay membership dues). One of the questions was:

鈥淓ven if this plan won鈥檛 affect you personally either way, do you think it should be passed

so that people with low incomes or people with high drug costs can be helped?鈥 Of the

respondents, 75% answered 鈥淵es.鈥

a. Describe how undercoverage might lead to bias in this study. Explain the likely

direction of the bias.

b. Describe how the wording of the question might lead to bias in this study. Explain the

likely direction of the bias.

Recycling Do most teens recycle? To find out, an AP庐 Statistics class asked an SRS of 100students at their school whether they regularly recycle. In the sample, 55students said that they recycle. Is this convincing evidence that more than half of the students at the school would say they regularly recycle? The dotplot shows the results of taking 200SRSS of 100students from a population in which the true proportion who recycle is 0.50.

a. Explain why the sample result (55out of 100said "Yes") does not give convincing evidence that more than half of the school's students recycle.

b. Suppose instead that 63students in the class's sample had said "Yes." Explain why this result would give convincing evidence that a majority of the school's students recycle.
