A sample of 400 is shown below: If a person is chosen at random, what is the probability that they are fueling due to Good price? A. .513 B. .557 C. .669 D. .818 Using the data above, what is the probability of the randomly selected people is U.S. citizen and fueling due to other reasons? A. .650 B. .583 C. .459 D. .313 Using the data above, given that they are fueling up for Other Reasons; what is the probability they are U.S. citizens? E. .250 F. .383 G. .459 H. .641

Explanation / Answer

given sample = 400

let A - randomly selected person is US citizen = 200

B- randomly selected person is canadian = 200

C-Person Fueling due to good price= 205

D-Person fueling due to other reasons= 195

18) Probability that selected person is fueling due to good price= 205/ 400 = 0.5125 = 0.513(A)

19) Probability that selected person is US citizen and fueling due to other reason = 125/400 = 0.3125 =0.313 (D)

20) Given that they are fueling with other resons(n=195) probability that they are US citizen

= 125/195 = 0.641(H)
