Chapter 5: Q. 97 (page 353)

The two-way table summarizes data on the gender and eye color of students in a college statistics class. Imagine choosing a student from the class at random. Define event A: student is male, and event B: student has blue eyes.

a. Copy and complete the two-way table so that events A and B are mutually exclusive.

b. Copy and complete the two-way table so that events A and B are independent.

c. Copy and complete the two-way table so that events A and B are not mutually exclusive and not independent.

Step by step solution

01

Part a. Step 1. Given information

Data on gender and eye color of the students summarized in two 鈥� way table:

A: Student is male

B: Student has blue eyes

02

Part a. Step 2. Explanation

Two events are disjoint or mutually exclusive when both events cannot occur at same time.

In this part,

Events A and B are mutually exclusive.

This implies

No male student has blue eyes.

Thus,

In the table, put 0 in the column 鈥淢ale鈥� and row 鈥淏lue鈥�.

Also,

Put the remaining counts according to the total counts of the rows and columns.

Thus,

The two 鈥� way table becomes:

Gender



MaleFemaleTotal
Eye ColorBlue0

Part b. Step 1. Explanation

Two events are independent, when the probability of occurrence of one event does not affect the probability of occurrence of other event.

Then

The counts will be the product of the row total and the column total, divided by the table total provided in the bottom left corner of the table.

Calculate the counts in the two 鈥� way table:

Part c. Step 1. Explanation

For two 鈥� way table, where A and B are not mutually exclusive and not independent as well.

In this part, the count for male with blue eyes should be different from the other two parts (Part (a) and Part (b)).

Suppose, if we choose the count 10for male with blue eyes.

Then

Put 10in the column 鈥淢ale鈥� and the row 鈥淏lue鈥�.

And

Put the remaining counts according to the total counts of the rows and columns.

Thus,

The two 鈥� way table becomes:

Gender

Most popular questions from this chapter

Butter side down Refer to the preceding exercise. Maria decides to test this

probability and drops 10 pieces of toast from a 2.5-foot table. Only 4of them land butter

side down. Maria wants to perform a simulation to estimate the probability that 4or

fewer pieces of toast out of 10would land butter side down if the researchers鈥� 0.81

probability value is correct.

a. Describe how you would use a table of random digits to perform the simulation.

b. Perform 3trials 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. The dotplot displays the results of 50 simulated trials of dropping 10pieces of toast.

Is there convincing evidence that the researchers鈥� 0.81probability value is incorrect?

Explain your answer.

An unenlightened gambler

a. A gambler knows that red and black are equally likely to occur on each spin of a

roulette wheel. He observes that 5 consecutive reds have occurred and bets heavily on

black at the next spin. Asked why, he explains that 鈥渂lack is due.鈥� Explain to the

gambler what is wrong with this reasoning.

b. After hearing you explain why red and black are still equally likely after 5reds on the

roulette wheel, the gambler moves to a card game. He is dealt 5straight red cards from

a standard deck with26red cards and 26black cards. He remembers what you said and

assumes that the next card dealt in the same hand is equally likely to be red or black.

Explain to the gambler what is wrong with this reasoning.

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.

A basketball player claims to make 47%of her shots from the field. We want to simulate the player taking sets of 10shots, assuming that her claim is true.

To simulate the number of makes in 10shot attempts, you would perform the simulation as follows:

a. Use 10 random one-digit numbers, where 0-4are a make and 5-9are a miss.

b. Use 10random two-digit numbers, where 00-46are a make and 47-99are a miss.

c. Use 10random two-digit numbers, where 00-47are a make and 48-99are a miss.

d. Use 47random one-digit numbers, where 0is a make and 1-9are a miss.

e. Use 47random two-digit numbers, where 00-46are a make and 47-99are a miss.

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).
