In a survey of readers of a US Weekly magazine a question was asked, “Which do you prefer: Facebook or Twitter?” There were 362 responses from females and 216 responses from males. 281 females and 98 males stated they prefer Facebook. Use proper notation to state the probabilities. (a) Create a two-way table to organize the responses to the survey. Determine the totals of the rows and columns. (b) Define events F: the survey response was from a female and T: the survey response was from a person who preferred Twitter. Create a Venn Diagram to organize the responses to the survey. (c) What is the probability that a randomly selected reader is female and prefers Twitter? (d) Of the respondents who prefer Twitter, what is the probability that the respondent is female? (e) Suppose a female reader is selected at random, what it the probability that she prefers Twitter? (f) Are the events being female and preferring Twitter independent?

In a sales effectiveness seminar, a group of sales representatives tried two approaches to selling a customer a new automobile: the aggressive approach and the passive approach. For 1160 customers, the following record was kept: Suppose a customer is selected at random from the 1160 participating customers. Let us use the following notation for events: A = aggressive approach, Pa = passive approach, S = sale, N = no sale. So, P(A) is the probability that an aggressive approach was used, and so on. (a) Compute P(S), P(S | A), and P(S | Pa). (Enter your answers as fractions.) Simplify the fraction if needed P(S) = ? P(S | A) = ? P(S | Pa) = 95/116 (b) Compute P(A and S) and P(Pa and S). (Enter your answers as fractions.) Simplify the fraction if needed P(A and S) = ? P(Pa and S) = 95/232 (c) Compute P(N) and P(N | A). (Enter your answers as fractions.) Simplify the fraction if needed
