a.     Both councilors are male?

 

b.    One councilor is a male and one a female?

5.    A machine used in a production process is set up correctly 97% of

the time. Given that the machine is set up correctly, only 5% of the

items it produces are defective, while 95% are not defective. On the

other hand, if the machine is set up incorrectly, 60% of the items it

produces are defective, while only 40% are not defective.

 

       What is the probability that a randomly selected item from the

production process will not be defective?

 

       NOTE:   Express probabilities to 4 decimal places of accuracy.

6.      In a survey of 100 business executives, 60 percent were male and

         40 percent were female. Seventy percent of the male executives used

P(A) = 0.25

 

P(B) = 0.30

 

        P(C) = 0.55

 

        P( A and C ) = 0.05

 

        P( B and C ) = 0

 

P(B|A) = 0.48

 

 

a.          Are A and B independent events?  Why or why not?

 

b.         Find P(A and B ).

 

c.          Find P(A or B )

 

d.         Find P(A|B).

 

e.          Are B and C mutually exclusive events? Why or y not?

 

f.            Are B and C independent events? Provide a mathematical proof.
