Middle school values Researchers carried out a survey of fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-grade students in Michigan. Students were asked whether good grades, athletic ability, or being popular was most important to them. The two-way table summarizes the survey data.

Suppose we select one of these students at random.

  1. Find P(athletic | 5thgrade).
  2. Use your answer from part (a) to help determine if the events 鈥�5th grade鈥� and 鈥渁thletic鈥� are independent.

Dogs and cats In one large city, 40% of all households own a dog, 32% own a cat, and 18% own both. Suppose we randomly select a household.

a. Make a Venn diagram to display the outcomes of this chance process using events D: owns a dog, and C: owns a cat.

b. Find P(D鈭�CC).

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?

The security system in a house has two units that set off an alarm when motion is

detected. Neither one is entirely reliable, but one or both always go off when there is

motion anywhere in the house. Suppose that for motion in a certain location, the

probability that detector A goes off and detector B does not go off is 0.25, and the

probability that detector A does not go off is 0.35. What is the probability that detector

B goes off?

a.0.1b.0.35c.0.4d.0.65e.0.75

Union and intersection Suppose C and D are two events such that P(C)=0.6, P(D)=0.45, and

P(C 鈭� D)=0.75. Find P(C 鈭� D).
