Defective concrete on a construction site can be caused by either poor workmanship (selection and grading of material, pouring, curing) or poor aggregate, or both. The quality of the aggregate is affected by the quality of the workmanship, and vice versa.

1. Researchers are interested in the relationship between vaping and upper respiratory infections. Suppose that 15% of their population of interest has vaped in the past year and 25% have had an upper respiratory infection in the past year. In addition, they know that 10% have both vaped and had an upper respiratory infection in the past year. What percent of the population has neither vaped nor had an upper respiratory infection in the past year? b. What is the probability of having an upper respiratory infection in the past year given that the person has vaped in the past year? What is the complement of the event in part b)? Be sure to interpret this probability in the context of the problem. a. C. d.
