What is the probability of drawing a club in a standard deck of 52cards?

Complete the table using the data provided. Suppose that one person from the study is randomly selected. Find the probability that person smoked 11to20cigarettes per day.

1994, the U.S. government held a lottery to issue 55000Green Cards (permits for non-citizens to work legally in the U.S.). Renate Deutsch, from Germany, was one of approximately 6.5million 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 1994, Renate received a letter stating she was one of 110,000finalists 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.

In words, explain what it means to pick one person from the study who is “Japanese American GIVEN that person smokes 21to30 cigarettes per day.” Also, find the probability

A jar of 150 jelly beans contains 22 red jelly beans, 38

Let B = the event of getting a blue jelly bean

Let G = the event of getting a green jelly bean.

Let O = the event of getting an orange jelly bean.

Let P = the event of getting a purple jelly bean.

Let R = the event of getting a red jelly bean.

Let Y = the event of getting a yellow jelly bean.
