(a) The probability of a person being a Male is 0.49.

(b) The probability of a person being a Male and a Democrat is 0.11.

(d) The probability of a person is a Republican given that he is a Male is 0.61.

(e) The probability of a person is a Female given that she is a Libertarian is 0.40.

(f)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given distribution of the data relating gender to political orientation is given in the tabular form below.

(a)

Compute the probability that the person is a Male as follows:

$P(Male)=\frac{n(Male)}{N} =\frac{101}{207} =0.487923\approx0.49$

Thus, the probability of a person being a Male is 0.49.

(b)

Compute the probability that the person is a Male and a Democrat as follows:

$P(M\cap D)=\frac{n(M\cap D)}{N} =\frac{22}{207} =0.10628\approx0.11$

Thus, the probability of a person being a Male and a Democrat is 0.11.

(c)

Compute the probability that the person is a Male given that he is a Democrat as follows:

$P(M| D)=\frac{P(M\cap D)}{P(D)} =\frac{P(M\cap D)}{n(D)/ N}= \frac{0.11}{64/207} =0.354839\approx0.35$

Thus, the probability of a person is a Male given that he is a Democrat is 0.35.

(d) Are the events Male and Republican independent? NO.

Compute the probability that the person is a Republican given that he is a Male as follows:

$P(R| M)=\frac{P(R\cap M)}{P(M)} =\frac{n(R\cap M)/N}{P(M)}= \frac{61/207}{0.49} =0.612245\approx0.61$

Thus, the probability of a person is a Republican given that he is a Male is 0.61.

(e)

Compute the probability that the person is a Female given that she is a Libertarian as follows:

$P(F|L)=\frac{P(F\cap L)}{P(L)} =\frac{n(F\cap L)/N}{n(L)/ N}= \frac{12/207}{30/207} =0.40$

Thus, the probability of a person is a Female given that she is a Libertarian is 0.40.

(f)

If two event A and B are independent than their conditional probability is:

$P(B|A)=\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(A)} =\frac{P(A)P(B)}{P(A)}=P(B)$

Then the conditional probability of Republican given male should be equal to the probability of Republican if the events Male and Republican independent, i.e. If the events Male and Republican independent then,

P(R|M) = P(R)

The probability of a person being a Republican is:

$P(R)= \frac{n(R)}{N} =\frac{113}{207}= 0.55$

The probability of Republican given male is, P (R|M) = 0.61.

P (R|M) ≠ P (R)

Thus, the events Male and Republican are not independent.

Answer from: Quest

y = 3x+4

step-by-step explanation:

to find the slope

slope = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

= (-8-4)/ (-4-0)

= -12/-4

= 3

using the slope intercept form of a line

y= mx+b

we know the slope is 3

we know the y intercept is 4 ( the point where it crosses the y axis or x=0)

y = 3x+4

After a dreary day of rain, the sun peeks through the clouds and a rainbow forms. you notice the rainbow is the shape of a parabola. the equation for this parabola is y = -x2 + 36. graph of a parabola opening down at the vertex 0 comma 36 crossing the x–axis at negative 6 comma 0 and 6 comma 0. in the distance, an airplane is taking off. as it ascends during take-off, it makes a slanted line that cuts through the rainbow at two points. create a table of at least four values for the function that includes two points of intersection between the airplane and the rainbow. analyze the two functions. answer the following reflection questions in complete sentences. what is the domain and range of the rainbow? explain what the domain and range represent. do all of the values make sense in this situation? why or why not? what are the x- and y-intercepts of the rainbow? explain what each intercept represents. is the linear function you created with your table positive or negative? explain. what are the solutions or solution to the system of equations created? explain what it or they represent. create your own piecewise function with at least two functions. explain, using complete sentences, the steps for graphing the function. graph the function by hand or using a graphing software of your choice (remember to submit the graph).
