Answer:
a) P(G | M) = 0.577
b) P(W | G) = 0.523
c) P(M and G') = 0.220
d) P(M or G) = 0.870
e) P(G') = 0.350
Step-by-step explanation:
A random sample of adult drivers was obtained where 52% were men and 46% were women.
P(M) = 0.52
P(W) = 0.46
A survey showed that 65% of the drivers rely on GPS systems.
P(G) = 0.65
30% of the drivers are men and use GPS while 34% of the drivers are women and use GPS.
P(M and G) = 0.30
P(W and G) = 0.34
a) Suppose the person selected is a man. What is the probability that he relies on a GPS system? Your answer should have at least 3 decimal places
P(G | M) = ?
Recall that conditional probability is given by
∵ P(B | A) = P(A and B)/P(A)
For the given case,
P(G | M) = P(M and G)/P(M)
P(G | M) = 0.30/0.52
P(G | M) = 0.577
b) Suppose the person selected relies on a GPS system. What is the probability that the person is a woman? Your answer should have at least 3 decimal places.
P(W | G) = ?
Recall that conditional probability is given by
∵ P(B | A) = P(A and B)/P(A)
For the given case,
P(W | G) = P(W and G)/P(G)
P(W | G) = 0.34/0.65
P(W | G) = 0.523
c) What is the probability that the person is a man and does not rely on a GPS system? Your answer should have at least 3 decimal places.
P(M and G') = ?
Where G' means does not rely on a GPS system
P(M and G') = P(M) - P(M and G)
P(M and G') = 0.52 - 0.30
P(M and G') = 0.220
d) What is the probability that an individual is a man or uses a GPS system? Your answer should have at least 3 decimal places.
P(M or G) = ?
Using the addition rule of probability,
∵ P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)
For the given case,
P(M or G) = P(M) + P(G) - P(M and G)
P(M or G) = 0.52 + 0.65 - 0.30
P(M or G) = 0.870
e) What is the probability that an individual does not use a GPS system? Your answer should have at least 3 decimal places.
P(G') = ?
P(G') = 1 - P(G)
P(G') = 1 - 0.65
P(G') = 0.350
