The population of a particular country consists of three ethnic groups. Each individual belongs to one of the four major blood groups. The accompanying joint probability table gives the proportions of individuals in the various ethnic group-blood group combinations. O 0.082 0.141 Blood Group A B 0.100 0.009 AB 0.004 0.141 0.018 0.005 0.215 0.204 0.061 0.020 Ethnic Group 1 2 3 Suppose that an individual is randomly selected from the population, and define events by A = {type A selected}, B = {type B selected}, and C = {ethnic group 3 selected}. (a) Calculate P(A), P(C), and P(An C). (Enter your answers to three decimal places.) P(A) = P(C) = P(ANC) = (b) Calculate both P(AIC) and P(CIA). (Round your answers to three decimal places.) P(AIC) = P(CIA) = Explain in context what each of these probabilities represents. (Select all that apply.) If a person has type B blood, the probability that he is from ethnic group 3 is given by P(AIC). If we know that the individual came from ethnic group…

You may need to use the appropriate appendix table or technology to answer this question. The population proportion is 0.26. What is the probability that a sample proportion will be within ±0.04 of the population proportion for each of the following sample sizes? (Round your answers to 4 decimal places.) (a) n = 100 (b) n = 200 (c) n = 500 (d) n = 1,000 (e) What is the advantage of a larger sample size? There is a higher probability ?p will be within ±0.04 of the population standard deviation.We can guarantee p will be within ±0.04 of the population proportion p. As sample size increases, E(p) approaches p.There is a higher probability p will be within ±0.04 of the population proportion p.
