  1. Calculate the following      probabilities. Round your answers to three decimal places. 
    1. If one of the passengers is randomly selected,       what is the probability that this passenger survived?
    2. If one of the passengers is randomly selected,       what is the probability that this passenger was in first class and       survived?
    3. If one passenger is randomly selected, what is       the probability that the person is from 1st class or 3rd class?
    4. If one passenger is randomly selected, what is       the probability that the person is 2nd class or survived?
    5. If two passengers are randomly selected (without       replacement), what is the probability that both passengers are from 3rd       class?

2.  Find the following probabilities.

  1. P(passenger survived      given passenger was in first class)
  2. P(passenger survived      given passenger was in second class)
  3. P(passenger survived      given passenger was in third class)
  4. P(passenger survived      given passenger was a child)
  5. P(passenger survived given |passenger was a woman)
  6. P(passenger survived      given passenger was a man)

     

  7. P(child survived given child was in first class)
  8. P(child survived given child was in second class)
  9. P(child survived given child was in third class)
  10. P(woman survived given woman was in first class)
  11. P(woman survived given woman was in second class)
  12. P(woman survived given woman was in third class)
  13. P(man survived given man was in first class)
  14. P(man survived      given man was in second class)
  15. P(man survived given man was in third      class)

  

3. Some believe that the rescue procedures favored the wealthier first class passengers. Other believe that the survival rates can be explained by the ”women and children first” policy. Investigate what might and might not be concluded from the given data. Use the data you found to back up any conclusions that you make. 

  1. In #2, what do the probabilities found in parts a      through c suggest about      class and survival?
  2. In #2, what do the probabilities found in parts d      through f suggest about      survival and gender?
  3. In #2, what do the probability found in parts g through i suggests about the survival of children in different      classes?
  4. In #2, what      do the probability found in parts j through l suggests about the survival      of women in different classes?
  5. In #2, what      do the probability found in parts m through o suggests about the survival      of men in different classes?
