In a private school students can choose only of French, Spanish or Music as their Elective. In a group of students, the number of males and females studying Spanish,French or Music are given in a table below Find the probability that a randomly chosen student a) studies music b) studies music or is female c) is male, given that they do not study Spanish ii) Determine whether the events ‘a randomly chosen student is a male’ and ‘a randomly chosen student is studying Music’ are independent, justifying your answer. iii) Two students are randomly selected, without replacement, what is the probability thatthe first student studies Spanish and the second student studies French.

In a game of blackjack played with one deck, a player is initially dealt 2 different cards from the 52 different cards in the deck. A winning blackjack hand is won by getting 1 of the 4 aces, and 1 of 16 other cards worth ten points The two cards can be in any order. Find the probability of being dealt a blackjack hand. What approximate percentage of hands are winning blackjack hands?
In a study of 235,722 cell phone users, it was found that 109 developed cancer of the brain or nervous system. Assuming that cell phones have no effect, there is a 0.000477 probability of a person developing cancer of the brain or nervous system. We therefore expect about 113 cases of such cancer in a group of 235,722 people. Estimate the probability of 109 or fewer cases of such cancer in a group of 235,722 people. What do these results suggest about media reports that cell phones cause cancer of the brain or nervous system? (a) P(x ≤ 109) = (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
