### Jewelry Classification and Probability Exercise

**Overview:**

550 pieces of jewelry are categorized based on two attributes:
1. Type: Necklace, Bracelet, Earrings.
2. Color: White Gold (W), Rose Gold (R), Yellow Gold (Y).

**Jewelry Classification Table:**

| Type of Jewelry | White (W) | Rose (R) | Yellow (Y) | Total |
|-----------------|-----------|----------|------------|-------|
| Necklace (N)    | 80        | 70       | 60         | 210   |
| Bracelet (B)    | 20        | 40       | 55         | 115   |
| Earrings (E)    | 30        | 95       | 100        | 225   |
| **Total**           | **130**     | **205**    | **215**     | **550** |

**Probability Questions:**

Given that one item is selected at random, calculate the following probabilities:

(a) \( P(W) \): Probability of selecting a white gold piece.

(b) \( P(B) \): Probability of selecting a bracelet.

(c) \( P(W \cap E) \): Probability of selecting white gold earrings.

(d) \( P(B / R) \): Probability of selecting a bracelet given that it's rose gold.

(e) \( P(R \cup E) \): Probability of selecting either a rose gold item or a pair of earrings.

(f) \( P(Y / E) \): Probability of selecting a yellow gold item given that it's earrings.

(g) \( P(N') \): Probability of selecting an item that is not a necklace.

(h) \( P(W \cup R / E') \): Probability of selecting either a white or rose gold item given that it's not earrings.

Expert Solution
Introduction

Probability is the likelihood of the event happening. It is calculated by dividing the number of observation in the event and the number of sample size. Each event is denoted by capital letter. It takes the values between 0 to 1.
