Answer:

a) 0.280

b) 0.300

c) No, preference is not independent of gender. Since the P(N) (0.29) is not equal to P(N|M) (0.28) and/or P(N|F) (0.30), the preference and gender are not completely, statistically independent. It's very close though.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the probability that the somebody surveyed is a male be P(M)

Let the probability that somebody surveyed is female be P(F)

Let the probability that somebody surveyed picked the name-brand milk be P(N)

Let the probability that somebody surveyed picked the store-brand milk be P(St)

Let the probability that somebody surveyed picked the something else be P(So)

a) Given that an American is a male, what is the probability that he prefers name-brand milk = P(N|M) = 319/1138 = 0.280

b) Given that an American is a female, what is the probability that she prefers name-brand milk = P(N|F) = 341/1138 = 0.300

c) To investigate if the preference and gender are independent or not, we need the P(N)

P(N) = probability that an average an Average American (male or female) will prefer a nam-brand milk = 660/2276 = 0.290.

Since the P(N) (0.29) is not equal to P(N|M) (0.28) and/or P(N|F) (0.30), the preference and gender are not statistically independent. It's very close though.

viktelen [127]

Answer:

Radius of sphere is 3 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of sphere is given by 4/3 \pi r^3

surface area of sphere is given by 4 \pi r^2

where r is the radius of the sphere.

Given that

The number of cubic units in the volume of a sphere is equal to the number of square units in the surface area of the sphere.

we equate formula of Volume of sphere  and surface area of sphere

assuming r as the radius.

thus,

4/3 \pi r^3 = 4 \pi r^2\\\\4/3 \pi r^3/ 4 \pi r^2 = 1\\=>r/3 = 1\\=> r = 3

Thus, radius of sphere is 3 units.
