Answer:
The probability of selecting a male is 0.3151.
The events "male" and "driver" are not independent.
The correct option is B.
Step-by-step explanation:
The missing data is as follows:
Female Male Total
Driver 32759 11715 44474
Passenger 6534 6361 12895
Total 39293 18076 57369
The complete question is:
Determine P(male) and P(male|driver). Are the events "male" and "driver" independent?
Solution:
Compute the probability of selecting a male as follow:
Thus, the probability of selecting a male is 0.3151.
Compute the probability of selecting a male given that he is a driver as follows:
Two events, say A and B, are independent if:
P (A|B) = P(A)
Here, P (M|D) ≠ P (M)
Thus, the events "male" and "driver" are not independent.
