A recent census found that 51.9% of adults are female, 10.9% are divorced, and 5.7% are divorced females. For an adult selected at random, let F be the event that the person is female, and D be the event that the person is divorced. a. Obtain P(F), P(D), and P(F&D). b. Determine P(F or D), and interpret your answer in terms of percentages. c. Find the probability that a randomly selected adult is male.

Use the following results from a test for marijuana use, which is provided by a certain drug testing company. Among 142 subjects with positive test results, there are 23 false positive results; among 150 negative results, there are 3 false negative results. i one of the test subjects is randomly selected, find the probability that the subject tested negative or did not use marijuana. (Hint: Construct a table.) The probability that a randomly selected subject tested negative or did not use marijuana is (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to three decimal places as needed.)
Attorneys often use lie detectors to test if a suspect is speaking the truth or not. It is found that the lie detector gives a positive result 64% of the time. The suspect is found to lie for 81% of the positive results and 15% of the negative results. a. If a suspect is actually lying, what is the probability that the lie detector gives a positive test result? b. If the suspect is not lying, what is the probability that the lie detector gives a negative result? Note:Answer in exact fraction, or rounded to at least 4 decimal places
