According to the CGMA Economic Index, which measures executive sentiment across the world, 18% of all respondents expressed optimism about the global economy (http://www.aicpa.org, March 29, 2012). Moreover, 22% of the respondents from the United States and 9% from Asia felt optimistic about the global economy. a. What is the probability that an Asian respondent is not optimistic about the global economy? b. If 28% of all respondents are from the United States, what is the probability that a respondent is from the United States and is optimistic about the global economy? c. Suppose 22% of all respondents are from Asia. If a respondent feels optimistic about the global economy, what is the probability that the respondent is from Asia?

Do cat owners sleep better than those without cats? To help answer this question, a cat enthusiast obtained a random sample of 500 Canadians, each of whom answered two questions: 1. do you have a cat? (yes or no), 2. How well do you sleep? (good, neutral, bad). The dataset “CatSleep.xlsx” contains her findings. Find the probability that a randomly selected Canadian is a bad sleeper and a cat owner. Find the probability that a randomly selected Canadian is a neutral sleeper or a cat owner. Find the probability that a randomly selected non-cat owner is a bad sleeper. That is, find the probability that a randomly selected Canadian is a bad sleeper, given they are not a cat owner Can you handwrite the solution?
