Question
**Study on Diet and Exercise: Data Analysis** The following table illustrates data from a study examining the effectiveness of diet alone versus diet combined with exercise in achieving weight loss goals. | Method | Achieved Goal Weight | Did Not Achieve Goal Weight | Total | |-------------------|----------------------|-----------------------------|-------| | Diet Alone | 30 | 70 | 100 | | Diet and Exercise | 60 | 40 | 100 | | Total | 90 | 110 | 200 | **Instructions for Calculation:** Use this table to calculate the probability (P) of achieving the goal weight. **Question 8a:** Calculate \( P(\text{Achieved Goal Weight}) \) **Hint:** Remember to round your answer to the hundredth place. For example, 0.367 rounds to 0.37 and 0.460 rounds to 0.46. This analysis will help understand the likelihood of reaching weight goals under different conditions and guide future health recommendations.

Expert Solution
Introduction to concepts

Marginal probability is the chances of an event occurring irrespective of the outcome of another variable. Therefore, here only the achieved weight goal would be considered.
