Samples of skin experiencing desquamation are analyzed for both moisture and melanin content. The results from 100 skin samples are as follows: melanin content high low high 13 11 moisture content low 46 30 Let A denote the event that a sample has low melanin content, and let B denote the event that a sample has high moisture content. Determine the following probabilities. Round your answers to three decimal places (e.g. 98.765). a) P(A) = i b) P(B) = i c) P(A | B) = i d) P(B|A) = i
Analysis of attendance statistics at CUNY QC reveals that Post COVID, the typical undergraduate student attends in person-class 64% of the time. If there are 29 classes during a semester, the probability of a randomly selected student attending 20 or more classes during the semester is closest to 13% 77% 36% 64%
A report describes the results of a large survey that was conducted for the Center for Disease Control (CDC). The sample was selected in a way that the CDC believed would result in a sample that was representative of adult Americans. One question on the survey asked respondents if they had learned something new about a health issue or disease from a TV show in the previous 6 months. Data from the survey was used to estimate the following probabilities, where L=event that a randomly selected adult American reports learning something new about a health issue or disease from a TV show in the previous 6 months and F=event that a randomly selected adult American is female P(L) = 0.54 P(L ∩ F) = 0.33 Assume that P(F) = 0.5. Are the events L and F independent events? Use probabilities to justify your answer. L and F are independent events because P(L) · P(F) = ________, which is not equal to P(L ∩ F).

O An oll company purchased an option on land in Alaska, Preliminary geologic studies assigned the following prior probabilities. P(high-quality oil) = 0.45 P(medium-quality oil) = 0.20 P(no oil) = 0.35 a. What is the probability of finding oll (to 2 decimals)? .65 b. After 200 feet of drilling on the first well, a soil test is taken, The probabilities of finding the particular type of soil identified by.the test are given below. P(soil|high-quality oil) = 0.25 %! P(soil medium-quality oil) = 0.85 P(soil no oil) = 0.25 Given the soil found in the test, use Bayes' theorem to compute the following revised probabilities (to 4 decimais). P(high-quality oiljsoil) P(medium-quality oil soil) P(no oilsoil) What is the new probability of finding oil (to 4 decimals)? According to the revised probabilities, what is the quality of oil that is most likely to be found? Select your answer O teon Key
4.41 Legitimate probabilities? In each of the following situations, state whether or not the given assignment of probabilities to individual outcomes is legitimate—that is, satisfies the rules of probability. If not, give specific reasons for your answer. (a) When a coin is spun, P(H) 5 0.55 and P(T) 5 0.45. (b) When a coin flipped twice, P(HH) 5 0.4, P(HT) 5 0.4,
All employees of a certain company have medical coverage, 30% have deluxe coverage, 60% have standard coverage and 10% have economy coverage. From recorded data, the probability that an employee with deluxe coverage will submit no claims during the year is 0.1, with the corresponding figures for standard and economy being 0.4 and 0.7 respectively. (a) What is the probability that a randomly selected employee of the com- pany will submit no claims during the year? (b) If the selected company submits no claims during the year, what is the probability that the employee has deluxe coverage? Standard coverage? Economy coverage?
The following table gives joint probabilities as to whether an adult American male has high blood pressure and/or high cholesterol: Blood Pressure High OK .18 .22 Cholesterol High OK .15 .45 (a)What is the probability that an adult American male has both conditions? (b)What is the probability that an adult American male has high blood pressure? (c)What is the probability that an adult American male with high blood pressure also has high cholesterol? (d)Are “having high blood pressure" and "having high cholesterol" independent? Why?
Two fair dice, one blue and one red, are tossed, and the up face on each die is recorded.
