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.)

In a survey of consumers aged 12 and older, respondents were asked how many cell phones were in use by the household. (No two respondents were from the same household.) Among the respondents, 203 answered "none," 294 said "one," 364 said "two," 143 said "three," and 139 responded with four or more. A survey respondent is selected at random. Find the probability that his/her household has four or more cell phones in use. Is it unlikely for a household to have four or more cell phones in use? Consider an event to be unlikely if its probability is less than or equal to 0.05. P(four or more cell phones) = %3D (Round to three decimal places as needed.) Is it unlikely for a household to have four or more cell phones in use? A. Yes, because the probability of a respondent with four or more cell phones in use is less than or equal to 0.05. B. Yes, because the probability of a respondent with four or more cell phones in use is greater than 0.05. C. No, because the probability of a respondent…
The percentage of mechanical-, civil-, aeronautical-, industrial-, and chemical-engineer- ing students in the course, Engineering Mathematics, is, respectively, 25, 20, 15, 22, and 18. The probability of a mechanical-, civil-, aeronautical-, industrial-, and chemical-en- gineering students getting the grade A is 0.7, 0.6, 0.8, 0.5, and 0.65, respectively. If a student chosen at random at the end of the semester earned an A in the course, find the probability of the student belonging to mechanical engineering.
