Question

Approximately 80% of households in the United States have computers. Of those 80%, 90% have Internet access. Find the probability that a U.S. household selected at random has a computer and has Internet access. Let: C = computers, I = internet, I|C = internet given computer. a. What is the probability P(C AND I) ? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. b. Are C and I independent? c. Are C and I mutually exclusive?

Answer 1

The probability that a U.S. household selected at random has a computer and has Internet access will be 0.72. The C and I are independent events. Then the correct option is B.

What is probability?

Its basic premise is that something will almost certainly happen. The percentage of favorable events to the total number of occurrences.

Approximately 80% of households in the United States have computers. Of those 80%, 90% have Internet access.

Then the probability that a U.S. household selected at random has a computer and has Internet access will be

P(C and I) = 0.80 × 0.90

P(C and I) = 0.72

Then the C and I are independent events.

Then the correct option is B.
