Question 1

a. The following two-way contingency table gives the breakdown of the population in a particular locale according to age and number of vehicular moving violations in the past three years;

Age Violations
0 1 2+
Under 21 0.04 0.06 0.02
20 - 40 0.25 0.16 0.01
41 - 60 0.23 0.10 0.02
60+ 0.08 0.03 0.00

A person is selected at random. Find the following probabilities. i. A person is over 30 years.
