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.
