PROBLEM 16: In a local restaurant, 40% of the customers were born in Indiana, 40% were born in Ohio, and 35% are IU students. In addition, 10% of the customers are IU students who were born in Indiana, and 20% are IU students who were born in Ohio. If one customer is randomly selected from the restaurant, and it is known that the customer was born in neither Indiana nor Ohio, what is the probability that the customer is an IU student? A) 1/4 B) 1/3 C) 1/5 D) 0.05 E) none of the above

1. Researchers are interested in the relationship between vaping and upper respiratory infections. Suppose that 15% of their population of interest has vaped in the past year and 25% have had an upper respiratory infection in the past year. In addition, they know that 10% have both vaped and had an upper respiratory infection in the past year. What percent of the population has neither vaped nor had an upper respiratory infection in the past year? b. What is the probability of having an upper respiratory infection in the past year given that the person has vaped in the past year? What is the complement of the event in part b)? Be sure to interpret this probability in the context of the problem. a. C. d. What is the probability of having an upper respiratory infection in the past year given that the person has not vaped in the past year? Are the two events independent? Be sure to justify your answer.
