Question

10. The probability that a randomly selected student has at least 1 household member who smokes is 0.421. Which cell is connected to this probability?
Use this probability to calculate the value of that cell.

Answer 1

Answer:

Since we know that the probability that a randomly selected student has at least 1 household member who smokes is 0.421. Then the total who correspond to Cell 8 on this case is 0.421*1000 = 421

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume the following table:

                                   No Hou. smokes     >=1 hou. smokes           Total

______________________________________________________

Student indicates he           Cell 1                        Cell 2                    Cell 3

or she has asthma

_______________________________________________________

Student indicates he

or she does not have            Cell 4                      Cell5                    Cell 6

asthma

_______________________________________________________

Total                                      Cell 7                         Cell8                   1000

We are assuming a grand total of 1000 people for this case

Since we know that the probability that a randomly selected student has at least 1 household member who smokes is 0.421. Then the total who correspond to Cell 8 on this case is 0.421*1000 = 421
