12.64 Indicted Governor. On Thursday, June 13, 1996, then- Arizona Governor Fife Symington was indicted on 23 counts of fraud and extortion. Just hours after the federal prosecutors announced the indictment, several polls were conducted of Arizonans asking whether they thought Symington should resign. A poll conducted by Research Resources, Inc., that appeared in the Phoenix Gazette, revealed that 58% of Arizonans felt that Symington should resign; it had a margin of error of plus or minus 4.9 percentage points. Another poll, conducted by Phoenix-based Behavior Research Center and appearing in the Tempe Daily News, reported that 54% of Arizonans felt that Symington should resign; it had a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percentage points. Can the conclusions of both polls be correct? Explain your answer.

Compound Probability

Compound probability can be defined as the probability of the two events which are independent. It can be defined as the multiplication of the probability of two events that are not dependent.

Probability theory is a branch of mathematics that deals with the subject of probability. Although there are many different concepts of probability, probability theory expresses the definition mathematically through a series of axioms. Usually, these axioms express probability in terms of a probability space, which assigns a measure with values ranging from 0 to 1 to a set of outcomes known as the sample space. An event is a subset of these outcomes that is described. 

Conditional Probability

By definition, the term probability is expressed as a part of mathematics where the chance of an event that may either occur or not is evaluated and expressed in numerical terms. The range of the value within which probability can be expressed is between 0 and 1. The higher the chance of an event occurring, the closer is its value to be 1. If the probability of an event is 1, it means that the event will happen under all considered circumstances. Similarly, if the probability is exactly 0, then no matter the situation, the event will never occur.
