Income tax returns Here is the distribution of the adjusted gross income (in thousands of dollars) reported on individual federal income tax returns in a recent year:

a. What is the probability that a randomly chosen return shows an adjusted gross income of \(50,000 or more?

b. Given that a return shows an income of at least \)50,000, what is the conditional

probability that the income is at least $100,000?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. Probability shows an adjusted gross income of $50,000or more is 0.321

b. Required conditional probability is0.3302

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

It is given that

02

Determining Probability for the randomly chosen return shows an adjusted gross income of $ 50,000 or more. 

As per addition rule

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

From table, probability of adjusted gross income of 50-99(in thousands of$)

P(50-99)=0.215

Similarly P(100-499)=0.100

P(鈮�500)=0.006

Now, P(income>$50,000)=P(>50)

=P(50-99)+P(100-499)+P(鈮�500)

=0.215+0.100+0.006

=0.321

Hence, Probability shows an adjusted gross income of$50,000or more is0.321

03

Conditional Probability for income is at least $100,000

We know that P(A鈭�B)=P(AandB)P(B)

From above part: P(income>$50,000)=0.321

As return shows income of atleast $50,000

鈬�P(鈮�$50,000and鈮�$100,000)=P(鈮�$100,000)

=P(100-499)+P(鈮�500)

=0.100+0.006

=0.106

Using Conditional Probability

P(鈮�$100,000鈭�鈮�$50,000)=P(鈮�$50,000and鈮�$1,00,000)P(鈮�$50,000)

=0.1060.321

鈮�0.3302

Butter side down Researchers at Manchester Metropolitan University in England

determined that if a piece of toast is dropped from a2.5-foot-high table, the probability

that it lands butter side down is 0.81.

a. Explain what this probability means.

b. Suppose that the researchers dropped 4pieces of toast, and all of them landed butter

side down. Does that make it more likely that the next piece of toast will land with the

butter side up? Explain your answer.

Mike鈥檚 pizza - You work at Mike鈥檚 pizza shop. You have the following information about the 9 pizzas in the oven: 3 of the 9 have thick crust and 2 of the 3 thick-crust pizzas have mushrooms. Of the remaining 6 pizzas, 4 have mushrooms.

a. Are the events 鈥渢hick-crust pizza鈥� and 鈥減izza with mushrooms鈥� mutually exclusive? Page Number: 356 Justify your answer.

b. Are the events 鈥渢hick-crust pizza鈥� and 鈥減izza with mushrooms鈥� independent? Justify your answer.

c. Suppose you randomly select 2 of the pizzas in the oven. Find the probability that both have mushrooms.

Temperature and hatching How is the hatching of water python eggs influenced by the temperature of a snake鈥檚 nest? Researchers randomly assigned newly laid eggs to one of three water temperatures: cold, neutral, or hot. Hot duplicates the extra warmth provided by the mother python, and cold duplicates the absence of the mother.

Suppose we select one of the eggs at random.

a. Given that the chosen egg was assigned to hot water, what is the probability that it hatched?

b. If the chosen egg hatched, what is the probability that it was not assigned to hot water?

2Drive to exercise : The two-way table summarizes the responses of 120 people to a survey in which they were asked, 鈥淒o you exercise for at least 30 minutes four or more times per week?鈥� and 鈥淲hat kind of vehicle do you drive?鈥�

Suppose one person from this sample is randomly selected.

a. Find the probability that the person drives an SUV.

b. Find the probability that the person drives a sedan or exercises for at least 30 minutes four or more times per week.

c. Find the probability that the person does not drive a truck, given that she or he exercises for at least 30 minutes four or more times per week.

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.
