An incoming lot of silicon wafers is to be inspected for defective ones by an engineer in a microchip manufacturing plant. Suppose that in a tray containing 24 wafers 6 are defective. Two wafers are to be selected randomly for inspection. Find the probabilities of the following events. a. Neither is defective. b. At least one of the two is defective. c. Neither is defective, given that at least one is not defective. d. Answer answer the same three questions, assuming this time that only 3 among the 24 wafers are defective.

Suppose there is a 11.9% probability that a randomly selected person aged 35 years or older is a jogger. In addition, there is a 15.9% probability that a randomly selected person aged 35 years or older is female, given that he or she jogs. What is the probability that a randomly selected person aged 35 years or older is female and jogs? Would it be unusual to randomly select a person aged 35 years or older who is female and jogs? The probability that a randomly selected person aged 35 years or older is female and jogs is (Round to three decimal places as needed.).
