Given that according to a certain news poll, 71% agreed that it should be the government's responsibility to provide a decent standard of living for the elderly,

Let A be the event that it should be the government's responsibility to provide a decent standard of living for the elderly, and B the event that it would be a good idea to invest part of their Social Security taxes on their own

P(B) = 41%=0.41

A and B are independent

Hence P(both)= $0.77(0.41) = 0.3157\\$

the probability that a person agreed with both propositions

= Probability for both A and B

= P(A) P(B) since A and B are independent

= 0.3157

Emily flipped a coin 30 times the coin landed heads up nine times and tails up 21 times

lara [203]

Part A)
The coin landed on heads 9 times out of 30 flips, so the experimental probability is 9/30, which reduces to 3/10 probability.

Part B)
Theoretically a coin has a 1/2 probability of landing on heads each flip
