Question 1. Given the following probabilities, compute all joint probabilities.

P(A) = .8, P(B / A) = .4, P(B / A C ) = .7


p(ab)=.32; p(AcB)=.14
p(ABc)=.48; p(AcBc)=.06
Question 2. To determine whether drinking alcoholic beverages has an effect on the
bacteria that cause ulcers, researchers developed the following table of joint
probabilities.
Number of Alcoholic Drinks
per Day Ulcer No Ulcer

None .01 .22


One .03 .19
Two .03 .32
More than two .04 .16

a. What proportion of people have ulcers? 0.77


b. What is the probability that a teetotaler (no alco holic beverages) develops an ulcer? .01/0.23
c. What is the probability that someone who has an ulcer does not drink alcohol? .01/.11

Question 3. In the United States, voters who are neither Democrat nor Republican are
called Independents. It is believed that 10% of all voters are Independents. A survey
asked 25 people to identify themselves as Democrat, Republican, or Independent.
a. What is the probability that none of the people are Independent? 7.18% nho add C2/25...
b. What is the probability that fewer than five peo ple are Independent? 90.2%
c. What is the probability that more than two peo ple are Independent? 46.29%

Question 4 A new gas–electric hybrid car has recently hit the market. The distance
traveled on 1 gallon of fuel is normally distributed with a mean of 65 miles and a standard
deviation of 4 miles. Find the probability of the following events.
a. The car travels more than 70 miles per gallon. z=(x-Muy)/xichma => P=.1056
b. The car travels less than 60 miles per gallon. doi xung qua 65 => P=.1056
c. The car travels between 55 and 70 miles per gallon. =.8944-.0062=.8882

E=65= muy
V=16 = 4^2
