  1. Let P(Z)= 0.4, P(Y)= 0.3, and . Find .
  2. The table cross-classifies gender and weight status for 5186 American adults.
Underweight Heavy weight Overweight Obese Total
Male 85 709 952 757 2503
Female 93 848 739 1003 2683
Total 178 1557 1691 1760 5186

Find the probability of the given event.

  • Being underweight.
  • Being a Female.
  • Being a Femaleandunderweight.
  • Being a Femaleorunderweight.
  • Being Healthy weightandOverweight.

3. The table lists the smoking habits of a group of college students.

Sex Non-Smoker Regular Smoker Heavy Smoker
Man 210 50 7
Woman 110 70 15
  • Using the above table, answer the following questions:
  • If a student is randomly selected from this group of college student,
  • What is the probability that the student is either a non-smoker or woman?
  • What is the probability that the student is not a heavy smoker?
  • What is the probability that the student is a heavy smoker, given that the student is a male?
  • Are the events N:{the student is a non-smoker} and W: {the student is a woman} independent? Explain.

4. Use the dice chart for the following questions:

1 2 3 4 5 6
1 1, 1 1, 2 1, 3 1, 4 1, 5 1, 6
2 2, 1 2, 2 2, 3 2, 4 2, 5 2, 6
3 3, 1 3, 2 3, 3 3, 4 3, 5 3, 6
4 4, 1 4, 2 4, 3 4, 4 4, 5 4, 6
5 5, 1 5, 2 5, 3 5, 4 5, 5 5, 6
6 6, 1 6, 2 6, 3 6, 4 6, 5 6, 6
  • If a die is rolled twice, find the probability that the sum is 4.
  • If a die is rolled twice, find the probability that the sum is 7 or the 1st roll is a 3.
  • If a die is rolled twice, find the probability that the sum is 7 given that the 1st roll is a 4.
  • If a die is rolled twice, find the probability that the sum is 6 given that the 2st roll is a 3.
  • When a die is rolled twice, are the events "sum is 6" and "2st roll is a 3" independent.
  • When a die is rolled twice, are the event "sum is 10" and "1st roll is a 2" disjoint?
