Answer to Problem 64E
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The two-way table gives information about adult passenger who lives and who died as in the given table:
Class of Travel | Survived | Died |
First class | 197 | 122 |
Second class | 94 | 167 |
Third class | 151 | 476 |
Concept used:
Probability is the number of favourable outcomes divided by the number of possible outcomes.
Thus, Definition condition probability:
Calculation:
According to the question, the person is selected first class. Now to find the probability that the result for “he or she survived”.
Therefore,
Thus, the conditional probability becomes:
Hence, the probability that the result for “he or she survived” is
b.
To find: the probability that the result for “he or she survived” in the given table.

Thus, Definition condition probability:
Calculation:
According to the question, the person is selecteted for survival. Now to find the probability that the result for “he or she was a third-class passenger”.
Therefore,
Thus, the conditional probability becomes:
Hence, the probability that the result for “he or she was a third-class passenger”is
