Referring to the important health practices advocated by the California study, suppose that in a senior college class of 500 students its is found that 210 smoke, 258 drink alcoholic beverages, 216 eat between meals, 122 smoke and drink alcoholic beverages, 83 eat between meals and drink alcoholic beverages, 97 smoke and eat between meals, and 52 engage in all three of these bad health practices. If a member of this sneer class is selected at random, find the probability that the student a. smoke but does not drink alcoholic beverages; b. eats between meals and drinks alcoholic beverages but does not smoke; c. neither smokes nor eats between meals

A random experiment was run 23 times with groups of 24 mice. Each time the experiment was run, 4 mice were initially infected with a disease; the remaining mice were susceptible to contracting the disease. After one day, they measured the number of number of newly infected mice (not including those originally infected). They found the following frequency table: Newly infected mice Newly infected mice 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Frequency 1 2 2 6 5 4 2 1 Determine the expected probability of transmission for this particular variant of disease. Round your answer to three decimal places.
2) A company was examining the perception of sports fans in a specific region and outside of that region to see if people viewed a specific team favorable or unfavorable. It was previously determined that given a person was from the region the probability they considered the team favorable was 0.7, and given that the person was not from the region, the probability they considered the team unfavorable was 0.28. Consider a collection of 35 people were surveyed, where 28 were from the region, and 7 people were from outside the region. a) Given that a randomly selected response from the sample was favorable, what is the probability they were from the region? b) Given that a randomly selected response from the sample was not favorable, what is the probability they were from the region?

There are declining levels of cooperation among persons contacted in surveys and this brings concerns to pollsters. A pollster contacts 92 people in the 18-21 age bracket and finds that 78 of them respond and 14 refuse to respond. When 276 people in the 22-29 age bracket are contacted, 259 respond and 17 refuse to respond. Assume that 1 of the 368 people is randomly selected. Find the probability of getting someone in the 22-29 age bracket or someone who agreed to respond. Report the answer as a percent rounded to one decimal place accuracy. You need not enter the "%" symbol. prob = Question Help: M Mes
