region).
Let A = the event that a country is in Asia.
Let E = the event that a country is in Europe.
Let F = the event that a country is in Africa.
Let N = the event that a country is in North America.
Let O = the event that a country is in Oceania.
Let S = the event that a country is in South America.
Find P(N).
Forty-eight percent of all Californians registered voters prefer life in prison without parole over the death penalty for a person convicted of first degree murder. Among Latino California registered voters, prefer life in prison without parole over the death penalty for a person convicted of first degree murder. of all Californians are Latino. In this problem, let: • C = Californians (registered voters) preferring life in prison without parole over the death penalty for a person convicted of first degree murder. L = Latino Californians. Suppose that one Californian is randomly selected.
Are L and C independent events? Show why or why not.

You have a fair, well-shuffled deck of 52 cards. It consists of four suits. The suits are clubs, diamonds, hearts, and spades. There are 13 cards in each suit consisting of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J (jack), Q (queen), and K (king) of that suit. S = spades, H = Hearts, D = Diamonds, C = Clubs. Suppose that you sample four cards without replacement.
Which of the following outcomes are possible? Answer the same question for sampling with replacement.
a. QS, 1D, 1C, QD
b. KH, 7D, 6D, KH
c. QS, 7D, 6D, KS
, the U.S. government held a lottery to issue Green Cards (permits for non-citizens to work legally in the U.S.). Renate Deutsch, from Germany, was one of approximately million people who entered this lottery. Let G = won green card.
a. What was Renate’s chance of winning a Green Card? Write your answer as a probability statement.
b. In the summer of , Renate received a letter stating she was one of finalists chosen. Once the finalists were chosen, assuming that each finalist had an equal chance to win, what was Renate’s chance of winning a Green Card? Write your answer as a conditional probability statement. Let F = was a finalist.
c. Are G andF independent or dependent events? Justify your answer numerically and also explain why.
d. Are G and F mutually exclusive events? Justify your answer numerically and explain why.
