Scenario: In this scenario we return to the data from the American Time Use Survey

(TimeUse). Our data table contains observations from nearly 16,000 respondents in three different years, giving us 43,191 rows of data. Use the Data Filter to select and include just the 2017 responses. Suppose we select one 2017 respondent at random.

What is the probability that we have chosen an individual who:

a. is not in the labor force?

b. works part-time?

c. works part-time or is female?

d. works part-time, given that she is female?

Finally, use your responses to consider the question of independence:

e. Are the events “works part time” and “female” independent? Explain.
