Q: According to a survey, 57% of the residents of a city oppose a downtown casino,

Let O = opposes S = strongly opposes a) P(S n O) = P(O) P(S|O) = 0.57*(8/10) = 0.456 [ANSWER] ******************* b) Note that P(S'|O) = 1 - P(S|O) hence, P(S'|O) = 1 - (8/10) = 0.2 [ANSWER] ******************* c) From a), the probability is 0.456, so IT IS NOT UNUSUAL. [ANSWER] [Unusual events have probability less than 0.05.]

Question

According to a survey, 57% of the residents of a city oppose a downtown casino, Of these57% about 88 out of 10 strongly oppose the casino.Complete parts (a) through (c).

(a) Find the probability that a randomly selected resident opposes the casino and strongly opposes the casino.

(b) Find the probability that a randomly selected resident who opposes the casino does not strongly oppose the casino.

Explanation / Answer

Let

O = opposes
S = strongly opposes

P(S n O) = P(O) P(S|O) = 0.57*(8/10) = 0.456 [ANSWER]

*******************

Note that

P(S'|O) = 1 - P(S|O)

hence,

P(S'|O) = 1 - (8/10) = 0.2 [ANSWER]

*******************

From a), the probability is 0.456, so IT IS NOT UNUSUAL. [ANSWER]

[Unusual events have probability less than 0.05.]
