Problem 5-3, 4 3. Accounting 10 Finance 5 Economics 3 Management 6 Marketing 10 Total 34 a. P(Mgt) = b. Empirical 4. a P(minority) = b. classical
Problem 5-8 • a. Number of violations • b. at least one violation • c. P(x=2) = • d. empirical
Problem 5-14 • P(P) = .50 • P(BE) = .30 • P(L) = .20 • a. P( No loss) = P(P) + P(BE) = .50+.30=.80 • b. P(No loss) = 1-P(L)= 1-.20=.80
Problem 5-29(modified) • Potential for Advancement Remember probability of an event is the numberof ways the event can occur divided by the total possible outcomes. You can find the probabilities of an event by the counts contained in a contingency table.
Find the following probabilities:1. P(AA and E) = 135/500=.272. P(F or A)= 154/500+150/500-45/500=259/500=.518 - events are not mutually exclusive - general rule of addition.3. P(F or E)=154/500+202/500=356/500=.712 - events are mutually exclusive - special rule of addition.4. P(A and G)=60/500=.12 - the person must have both attributes of being A and G and there are only 60 of them. 5.P(E/A)=45/150=.30 - remember the / indicates given or on the condition that we have an average person on sales ability. So our denominator becomes 150. This is a conditional probability. 6. P(BA/G)=12/144=.08333 7. P(A and E )=45/500=.098. P(A or E) = 150/500 + 202/500 - 45/500=307/500=.6149. P (BA/E)=22/202=.108910. P( E and BA)= 22/500=.044 Problem 5-29(cont’d)

Problem 5-78 Given: Smoke Do not smoke Male 75 250 Female 150 100 300 400 Completed table: Smoke Do not smoke Male 75 175 250 Female 25 125 150 100 300 400
Problem 5-78 Contd.. Joint probability Table: Smokers Non-Smokers Male .1875 .4375 .625 Female .0425 .3125 .375 .25 .75 1.00 • P(M) = .625 • P(S) = .25 • P(M and S) = .1875 • P(M or S) = P(M) + P(S) – P (M and S) = .625 + .25 - .1875 =.6875 • Extra problem : given that you selected a smoker, What is the probability that it is a male? P(M/S) =P(M and S) / P(S) = .1875 / .25 = .75
