Many fire stations handle emergency calls for medical assistance as well as calls requesting firefighting equipment. A particular station says that the probability that an incoming call is for medical assistance is 0.84. This can be expressed as P(call is for medical assistance) = 0.84. (a) Give a relative frequency interpretation of the given probability. O Eighty-four percent of all calls to the station are for medical assistance. O None of the calls to the station are for medical assistance. O Sixteen percent of all calls to the station are for medical assistance. O All calls to the station are for medical assistance. O Fifty percent of all calls to the station are for medical assistance. (b) What is the probability that a call is not for medical assistance?
