Addition Rule of Probability

It simply refers to the likelihood of an event taking place whenever the occurrence of an event is uncertain. The probability of a single event can be calculated by dividing the number of successful trials of that event by the total number of trials.

Expected Value

When a large number of trials are performed for any random variable ‘X’, the predicted result is most likely the mean of all the outcomes for the random variable and it is known as expected value also known as expectation. The expected value, also known …

Probability Distributions

Understanding probability is necessary to know the probability distributions. In statistics, probability is how the uncertainty of an event is measured. This event can be anything. The most common examples include tossing a coin, rolling a die, or choosi…

Basic Probability

The simple definition of probability it is a chance of the occurrence of an event. It is defined in numerical form and the probability value is between 0 to 1. The probability value 0 indicates that there is no chance of that event occurring and the prob…

Chapter 2.3, Problem 51PS

In a recent survey of 100 persons, the following information was gathered:

59 use shampoo A.

51 use shampoo B.

35 use shampoo C.

24 use shampoo A and B.

19 use shampoo A and C.

13 use shampoo B and C.

11 use all three

Let

A = {persons who use shampoo A}

B = {persons who use shampoo B}

C = {persons who use shampoo C}

Use a Venn diagram to show how many persons are in each of the eight possible categories.

Students have asked these similar questions

A restaurant hired you to determine what kind of appetizers customers liked. A survey determined 78 people liked shrimp cocktail, 56 people liked mozzarella sticks, 35 people liked both shrimp cocktail and mozzarella sticks, and 10 people did not like either one. The manger thinks he surveyed 100 people. Is this correct? Construct a Venn diagram and explain in a short paragraph to the manager why this is correct or incorrect. Make sure you show all your work to defend your position.

People were surveyed about their age and their favorite way to travel for vacation. The results are displayed below.Based on the graph, is there an association between age and preferred mode of transportation?A) There is an association because the distribution of preferred transportation differs among the age groups.B) There is an association because the distribution of preferred transportation is the same among the age groups.C) There is no association because the distribution of preferred transportation differs among the age groups.D) There is no association because the distribution of preferred transportation is the same among the age groups.

Medical researchers followed 6272 Swedish men for 30 years to see if there was any association between the amount of fish in their diet and prostate cancer. (“Fatty Fish Consumption and Risk of Prostate Cancer,” Lancet, June 2001). A summary of the data is given in the table below. Fish Consumption No Prostate Cancers Prostate Cancers Never/Seldom 110 14 Small part of diet 2420 201 Moderate part of diet 2769 209 Large part of diet 507 42 A) If a patient is randomly selected, what is the probability that he/she had prostate cancer given that fish was never or seldom a part of the diet? Round your answer to three decimal places and include the leading zero. B) If a patient is randomly selected, what is the probability that s/he ate fish as a large part of their diet given that they had prostate cancer. Round your answer to two decimal places and include the leading zero.
