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.

Four-sided dice A four-sided die is a pyramid whose four faces are labeled

with the numbers 1,2,3and4(see image). Imagine rolling two fair, four-sided dice and

recording the number that is showing at the base of each pyramid. For instance, you would

record a 4if the die landed as shown in the figure.

a. Give a probability model for this chance process.

b. Define event A as getting a sum of 5. Find P(A).

Superpowers A random sample of 415children from England and the United States who completed a survey in a recent year was selected. Each student鈥檚 country of origin was recorded along with which superpower they would most like to have: the ability to fly, ability to freeze time, invisibility, superstrength, or telepathy (ability to read minds). The data are summarized in the two-way table.

Suppose we randomly select one of these students. Define events E: England, T: telepathy,

and S: superstrength.

a. Find P(T|E). Interpret this value in context.

b. Given that the student did not choose superstrength, what鈥檚 the probability that this child is from England is ? Write your answer as a probability statement using correct symbols for the events.

Color-blind men About 7% of men in the United States have some form of red-green color blindness. Suppose we randomly select one U.S. adult male at a time until we find one who is red-green color-blind. Should we be surprised if it takes us 20 or more men? Describe how you would carry out a simulation to estimate the probability that we would have to randomly select 20 or more U.S. adult males to find one who is red-green color blind. Do not perform the simulation.

An athlete suspected of using steroids is given two tests that operate independently of each other. Test A has probability 0.9of being positive if steroids have been used. Test B has probability 0.8of being positive if steroids have been used. What is the probability that neither test is positive if the athlete has used steroids?

a. 0.08

b. 0.28

c. 0.02

d. 0.38

e. 0.72

In a sample of275students, 20say they are vegetarians. Of the vegetarians, 9eat both fish and eggs, 3eat eggs but not fish, and 7eat neither. Choose one of the vegetarians at

random. What is the probability that the chosen student eats fish or eggs?

a. 9/20

b. 13/20

c. 22/20

d. 9/275

e.22/275
