Get rich A survey of 4826 randomly selected young adults (aged 19to25) 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 summarizes the responses.

Choose a survey respondent at random. Define events G: a good chance, M: male, and N: almost no chance.

a. Find P(G|M). Interpret this value in context.

b. Given that the chosen survey respondent didn鈥檛 say 鈥渁lmost no chance,鈥 what鈥檚 the probability that this person is female? Write your answer as a probability statement using correct symbols for the events.

Short Answer

a. Required probability is P(GM)0.3083

b. Probability of female respondent didn't say "almost no chance" isPMcNc0.4903

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

It is given that:

02

Determining probability for male young adult having good chance of much more than middle class income at age 30

Using Conditional Probability: P(BA)=P(AB)P(A)=P(AandB)P(A)

G: Good Chance

M: Male

Information about 4826young adults is provided.

From table, 2459/4826young adults are males.

P(M)=Number of favourable outcomesNumberof possible outcomes=24594826

Also, 78/4826young adults have a good chance.

P(GandM)=Number of favourable outcomesNumberof possibleoutcomes=7584826

Using Conditional Probability

P(GM)=P(GandM)P(M)=758482622594826=75824590.3083=30.83%

Hence, 30.83%of young males are of the view that there is good chance for them to have much more than middle aged income at30and probability is0.3083

03

Determining probability of the female respondent didn't say "almost no chance".

As per complement rule,

PAc=P(notA)=1-P(A)

and conditional probability P(BA)=P(AB)P(A)=P(AandB)P(A)

N: Almost no chance

M: Male

From table, 194/4826young adults think that "Almost no chance".

4632young adults do not have such opinion.

PNc=Numberof favourable outcomesNumberof possibleoutcomes=46324826

From table, 96/4826female adults have opinion "Almost no Chance".

As total female young adults are 2367.

2271/4826female young adults dis not have above opinion.

PMcandNc=Numberof favourableoutcomesNumber of possible=22714826

Using Conditional Probability:

PMcNc=PMcandNcPNc=2271422646324826=22714632=75715440.4903=49.03%

Hence, probability for the female respondent didn't say "almost no chance" is0.4903

Mammograms Many women choose to have annual mammograms to screen for breast

cancer after age 40. A mammogram isn鈥檛 foolproof. Sometimes the test suggests that a

woman has breast cancer when she really doesn鈥檛 (a 鈥渇alse positive鈥). Other times the test

says that a woman doesn鈥檛 have breast cancer when she actually does (a 鈥渇alse negative鈥).

Suppose the false negative rate for a mammogram is 0.10.

a. Explain what this probability means.

b. Which is a more serious error in this case: a false positive or a false negative? Justify

your answer.

Is this your card? 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, 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,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. Define events F: getting a face card and H: getting a heart. The two-way table summarizes the sample space for this chance process

a. Find P(HC).

b. Find P(HcandF). Interpret this value in context.

c. Find P(HcorF).

Grandkids Mr. Starnes and his wife have 6grandchildren: Connor, Declan, Lucas, Piper, Sedona, and Zayne. They have 2extra tickets to a holiday show, and will randomly select which 2grandkids get to see the show with them.

a. Give a probability model for this chance process.

b. Find the probability that at least one of the two girls (Piper and Sedona) get to go to the show.

A total of 25repetitions of the simulation were performed. The number of makes in each set of 10simulated shots was recorded on the dotplot. What is the approximate probability that a 47%shooter makes 5or more shots in 10attempts?

a.5/10

b.3/10

c.12/25

d. 3/25

e.47/100

Lucky penny? Harris Interactive reported that 33%of U.S. adults believe that

finding and picking up a penny is good luck. Assuming that responses from different

individuals are independent, what is the probability of randomly selecting 10U.S. adults

and finding at least 1person who believes that finding and picking up a penny is good

luck?
