Unitary Method

The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.

Speed, Time, and Distance

Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 miles away.

Profit and Loss

The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.

Units and Measurements

Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experiments to set up the devices.

Question

**Seat Belt Usage by Gender**

A report from *USA Today* (June 6, 2000) provided data on seat belt usage by gender. Based on a survey of a large number of adult men and women in the United States, the proportions are displayed in the table below:

| | Male | Female |
|---------------------|------|--------|
| Uses Seat Belts Regularly | 0.10 | 0.175 |
| Does Not Use Seat Belts Regularly | 0.40 | 0.325 |

Assuming these proportions represent adult Americans, consider an adult selected at random:

a. **What is the probability that the selected adult regularly uses a seat belt?**

b. **What is the probability that the selected adult regularly uses a seat belt given that the individual selected is male?**

c. **What is the probability that the selected adult does not use a seat belt regularly given that the selected individual is female?**

d. **What is the probability that the selected individual is female given that the individual does not use a seat belt regularly?**

e. **Are the probabilities from parts (c) and (d) equal? Write a couple of sentences explaining why this is so.**

This exercise involves interpreting statistical data, calculating probabilities, and understanding gender-related trends in seat belt usage.
