Question 8

A contingency table shows 44 drug users with positive test results, 6 drug users with negative results, 90 non-users with positive results, and 860 non-users with negative results. What is the probability of randomly selecting a drug user?

Accepted Answer

$$\frac{44 + 6}{44 + 6 + 90 + 860}$$

Question 9

If two scales are randomly selected with replacement from 810, and 102 are defective, what is the probability both are defective?

Accepted Answer

$$\frac{102}{810} 	imes \frac{102}{810}$$

Question 10

Accepted Answer

$$\frac{3}{8}$$

Question 12

If $$P(A) = 0.3$$ and $$P(B) = 0.4$$, and $$A$$ and $$B$$ are mutually exclusive, what is $$P(A \cup B)$$?

Accepted Answer

$$0.7$$

Accepted Answer

$$\frac{197 + 94 + 151}{197 + 122 + 94 + 167 + 151 + 476}$$

Question 15

If $$P(A|B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)}$$, what does $$P(A|B)$$ represent?

Accepted Answer

The probability of $$A$$ occurring given $$B$$ has occurred.
