Step 1: Content Introduction

Independent event are ones whose event is not contingent on the occurrence of another event.

Step 2: Content Explanation

It is given that Q and R are independent events.

Therefore, P(R) can be calculated as follow:

$P (Q A N D R) = P (Q) \times P (R) 0.1 = 0.4 \times P (R) P (R) = 0.25$

What is the probability of rolling an even number of dots with a fair, six-sided die numbered one through six?

Use the following information to answer the next six exercises. There are $23$ countries in North America, $12$ countries in

South America, $47$ countries in Europe, $44$ countries in Asia, $54$ countries in Africa, and $14$ in Oceania (Pacific Ocean

region).

Let A = the event that a country is in Asia.

Let E = the event that a country is in Europe.

Let F = the event that a country is in Africa.

Let N = the event that a country is in North America.

Let O = the event that a country is in Oceania.

Let S = the event that a country is in South America.

Find P(O).

Use the following information to answer the next $12$ exercises. The graph shown is based on more than $170, 000$ interviews done by Gallup that took place from January through December $2012$ . The sample consists of employed Americans $18$ years of age or older. The Emotional Health Index Scores are the sample space. We randomly sample one Emotional Health Index Score.

What occupation has the lowest emotional index score?

After Rob Ford, the mayor of Toronto, announced his plans to cut budget costs in late $2011$ , the Forum Research polled $1, 046$ people to measure the mayor’s popularity. Everyone polled expressed either approval or disapproval. These are the results their poll produced:

• In early $2011, 60$ percent of the population approved of Mayor Ford’s actions in office.

• In mid- $2011, 57$ percent of the population approved of his actions.

• In late $2011$ , the percentage of popular approval was measured at $42$ percent.

a. What is the sample size for this study?

b. What proportion in the poll disapproved of Mayor Ford, according to the results from late $2011$ ?

c. How many people polled responded that they approved of Mayor Ford in late $2011$ ?

d. What is the probability that a person supported Mayor Ford, based on the data collected in mid- $2011$ ?

e. What is the probability that a person supported Mayor Ford, based on the data collected in early $2011$ ?

In words, explain what it means to pick one person from the study who is “Japanese American OR smokes $21 t o 30$ cigarettes per day.” Also, find the probability.
