- Working Women A survey has shown that 52 of the women in a certain community work outside the home. Of these women, 64 are married, while 86 of the women who do not work outside the home are married. Find the probabilities that a woman in that community can be categorized as follows. a. Married b. A single women working outside the homearrow_forwardConsumer Preference In a population of 100,000 consumers, there are 20,000 users of Brand A, 30,000 users of Brand B, and 50,000 who use neither brand. During any month, a Brand A user has a 20 probability of switching to Brand B and a 5 of not using either brand. A Brand B user has a 15 probability of switching to Brand A and a 10 probability of not using either brand. A nonuser has a 10 probability of purchasing Brand A and a 15 probability of purchasing Brand B. How many people will be in each group a in 1 month, b in 2 months, and c in 18 months?arrow_forwardThe following table shows frequencies for red-green color blindness, where M represents person is male and C represents person is colour-blind.

- Assume that the probability that an airplane engine will fail during a torture test is 12and that the aircraft in question has 4 engines. Construct a sample space for the torture test. Use S for survive and F for fail.arrow_forwardIf A and B are events such that P(A)=0.5 and P(AB)=0.7, find P(B) when a. A and B are mutually exclusive; b. A and B are independent.arrow_forward
