Chapter 5: Q. T5.2 (page 357)

What is the probability that the person owns a Chevy, given that the truck has four-wheel drive?

a.32/50b.32/80c.32/125d.50/125e.80/125

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct option is :

b.32/80

Step by step solution

01

Given information

We have to tell the probability that the person owns a Chevy, given that the truck has four-wheel drive.

02

Explanation

We know that

  • A total of 125truck owners were asked what type of truck they had and if it had four-wheel drive.
  • The likelihood of the person owning a Dodge or having a four-wheel drive is high.
  • The total of eighty drivers own four-wheel and thirty-two own four-wheel Chevy.

Therefore,

The correct option is (b) i.e.

Temperature and hatching How is the hatching of water python eggs influenced by the temperature of a snake’s nest? Researchers randomly assigned newly laid eggs to one of three water temperatures: cold, neutral, or hot. Hot duplicates the extra warmth provided by the mother python, and cold duplicates the absence of the mother.

Suppose we select one of the eggs at random.

a. Given that the chosen egg was assigned to hot water, what is the probability that it hatched?

b. If the chosen egg hatched, what is the probability that it was not assigned to hot water?

Waiting to park Do drivers take longer to leave their parking spaces when

someone is waiting? Researchers hung out in a parking lot and collected some data. The

graphs and numerical summaries display information about how long it took drivers to

exit their spaces.

a. Write a few sentences comparing these distributions.

b. Can we conclude that having someone waiting causes drivers to leave their spaces more

slowly? Why or why not?

Is this your card? A standard deck of playing cards (with jokers removed) consists of 52cards in four suits—clubs, diamonds, hearts, and spades. Each suit has 13cards, with denominations ace, 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,jack, queen, and king. The jacks, queens, and kings are referred to as “face cards.” Imagine that we shuffle the deck thoroughly and deal one card. Define events F: getting a face card and H: getting a heart. The two-way table summarizes the sample space for this chance process

b. Find P(HcandF). Interpret this value in context.

c. Find P(HcorF).
