Explanation / Answer

Solution:

P(smoker) = 0.195

P(men smoke) = 0.22

P(women smoke) = 0.17

P(men) = 0.50 and thus P(women)=1-0.50=0.50

Part (c) What percentage of smokers are male?

=P(male and smoker)/P(smoker) = 0.11/0.195 = 0.56410

Part (d) What percentage of smokers are women?

=P(women and smoker)/P(smoker) = 0.17*0.50/0.195 = 0.43589
