Question 4

Regarding probability, which of the following is correct?

 
The probability of the union of two events can exceed one.

 
The union of events A and B consists of all outcomes in the sample space that
are contained in both event A and event B.

Correct!  
When two events A and B are independent, the joint probability of the events
can be found by multiplying the probabilities of the individual events.

Review the rules of probability.

 
When events A and B are mutually exclusive, then P(A∩B) = P(A) + P(B).

Review the rules of probability.

Find the probability that either event A or B occurs if the chance of A

occurring is .5, the chance of B occurring is .3, and events A and B are
independent.

Correct!  
.65

Given that the events are independent, the product P(A)P(B) must equal
P(A∩B). Thus, P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B) = .50 + .30 - (.50)(.30)
= .80 - .15 = .65 using the General Law of Addition.

 
.85

 
.80

 
.15

Given that the events are independent, the product P(A)P(B) must
equal P(A∩B). Thus, P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B) = .50 + .30 -
(.50)(.30) = .80 - .15 = .65 using the General Law of Addition.

Question 6

Within a given population, 22 percent of the people are smokers, 57 percent

of the people are males, and 12 percent are males who smoke. If a person is
chosen at random from the population, what is the probability that the
selected person is either a male or a smoker?

 
.22

 
.43

Correct!  
.67

Use the General Law of Addition P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B).
