Cell phones 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.

  1. Find P(iPhone | 18-34)
  2. Use your answer from part (a) to help determine if the events 鈥渋Phone鈥 and "18-34"are independent.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) P(iPhone | 18-34)=169517

(b) Events "iPhone" and "18-34" are not independent

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given Information

We are given a table that summarizes data of 2024adult cell phone owners from united states and their age:

We need to find P( iPhone |18-34)

02

Part(a) Step 2: Explanation

P(A|B) means probability of happening of event A when event B has already taken place. Formula for same is P(A|B)=P(AB)P(B)

According to ques event A is adults having iPhone and event B is adults of age group 18-34

P(AB)means probability of adult having iPhone and is in age group 18-34

localid="1653965385334" P(AB)=No.offavourableoutcomesNo.oftotaloutcomes=1692024

P(B) is probability of adult having phone in age group of 18-34

P(18-34)=No.offavouableoutcomesNo.oftotaloutcomes=5172024

P(iPhone | 18-34)= P(iPhone18-34)P(18-34)=16920245172024=169517

Hence, P(iPhone | 18-34)= 169517

03

Part (b) Step 1: Given Information

We are given a table that summarizes data of 2024adult cell phone owners from united states and their age:

From results of part(a) we need to determine if events "iPhone" and "18-34" are independent.

04

Part(b) Step 2: Explanation

For events to be independent P(A|B)= P(A)

According to multiplication rule of independent events P(AB)= P(A)P(B)

From part (a) step 2we get P(iPhone 18-34)=role="math" localid="1653966932798" 1692024=0.083---------------(1)

P(iPhone)= 4672024----------(2)

P(18-34)=5172024-------------(3)

Using data calculated above, we get P(iPhone)P(18-34)=role="math" localid="1653966911398" 41651720242024=0.052

As P(iPhone)P(18-34) P(iPhone | 18-34)

Hence, events are not independent.

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).

Notebook check Every 9weeks, Mr. Millar collects students' notebooks and checks their homework. He randomly selects 4different assignments to inspect for all of the students. Marino is one of the students in Mr. Millar's class. Marino completed 20homework assignments and did not complete 10assignments. He is surprised when Mr. Millar only selects 1assignment that he completed. Should he be surprised? To find out, we want to design a simulation to estimate the probability that Mr. Millar will randomly select 1or fewer of the homework assignments that Marino completed.

Get 30identical slips of paper. Write "N" on 10 of the slips and "C" on the remaining 20slips. Put the slips into a hat and mix well. Draw 1slip without looking to represent the first randomly selected homework assignment, and record whether Marino completed it. Put the slip back into the hat, mix again, and draw another slip representing the second randomly selected assignment. Record whether Marino completed this assignment. Repeat this process two more times for the third and fourth randomly selected homework assignments. Record the number out of the 4randomly selected homework assignments that Marino completed in this trial of the simulation. Perform many trials. Find the proportion of trials in which Mr. Millar randomly selects 1or fewer of the homework assignments that Marino completed.

Scrabble In the game of Scrabble, each player begins by randomly selecting 7tiles from a bag containing 100tiles. There are 42vowels, 56consonants, and 2blank tiles in the bag. Cait chooses her 7tiles and is surprised to discover that all of them are vowels. We want to perform a simulation to determine the probability that a player will randomly select 7vowels.

a. Describe how you would use a table of random digits to carry out this simulation.

b. Perform one trial of the simulation using the random digits given. Copy the digits onto your paper and mark directly on or above them so that someone can follow what you did.

c. In 2of the 1000trials of the simulation, all 7tiles were vowels. Does this result give convincing evidence that the bag of tiles was not well mixed?

Who鈥檚 pregnant? According to the Current Population Survey (CPS), 27%

of U.S. females are older than 55. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report that 6% of all U.S. females are pregnant. Suppose that these results are accurate. If we randomly select a U.S. female, is P(pregnant and over 55) =(0.06)(0.27)=0.0162? Why or why not?

If a player rolls a 2,3,or12, it is called craps. What is the probability of getting craps or an even sum on one roll of the dice?

a. 4/36

b. 18/36

c. 20/36

d. 22/36

e. 32/36
