A School of Public Health completed a study on alcohol consumption on college campuses. They concluded that 21.5% of women attending all-women colleges abstained from alcohol, compared to 17.3% of women attending coeducational colleges. Approximately 5.5% of women college students attend all-women schools. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. (a) What is the probability that a randomly selected female student abstains from alcohol? The probability is nothing. (Type an integer or a decimal rounded to four decimal places as needed.)

We randomly select a batch of 40 computer disks for shipment. The probability of selecting a good disk is the same as the probability of selecting a defective disk. In part C, you will determine the probability that this shipment contains 10 defective disks and 30 good disks for our batch or 15 defective disks and 25 good disks for our batch. Note: I am not asking for an example of an outcome, although I may ask for examples of outcomes on the exam. A. What is the size of your sample space S? i.e., How many different outcomes (batches of 40 disks) in your sample space? What are the conditions? What counting technique(s) are you using? B. How many outcomes when randomly selecting 10 defective disks and 30 good disks for our batch or 15 defective disks and 25 good disks for our batch. What are the conditions?

A researcher wanted to study the commuting habits of community college students and faculty. He wanted to compare their mode of transportation to the college. He asked if they walk, bike, or drive to campus. The following table represents the data that was collected.
