Indicate which interpretation of the probability statement seems most appropriate and why. A miniature tablet that is small enough to be worn as a watch is in beta testing. In a preliminary report, the company states that more than 55% the 500 testers found the device to be easier to use than a full-sized tablet. The probability of this happening is .011 provided there is no difference in ease of use of the two devices.

Every year, the vetrinary hospital at a major research university treats a number of horses that have stones called enteroliths in their guts. AS sample of 20 years shows that on average about 2% of horses presenting at the veterinary hospital are treated for enteroliths. Some breeds of horses seem more prone to developing enteroliths than others. Below is a table with the distribution of enteroliths among the breeds. breed Fijian Thoroughbred Morgan Quarter Horse probability 0.4 0.2 0.3 ? The probability that a horse arriving at the veterinary hospital is not a Fijian, Thoroughbred, or a Quarter horse is?
