Given the table below showing the results of a sample of 1000 people (525 men and 475 women), of which 113 are left-handed (63 men and 50 women).

$\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}
{|c||c|c|c|}
 & Male & Female & Total \\ [1ex]
Left handed & 63 & 50 & 113 \\
Right handed & 462 & 425 & 887 \\ [1ex]
Total & 525 & 475 & 1000
\end{tabular}
\end{center}$

A person is selected at random from the sample.

a.) The probability that the person is left handed or female is given by the probability that the person is left handed plus the probability that the person is a female minus the probability that the person is both left handed and a female. This is given by
$\frac{113}{1,000} + \frac{475}{1,000} - \frac{50}{1,000} = \frac{538}{1,000} =0.538$

b.) The probability that the person is left handed and female is given by the probability that the person is both left handed and a female. This is given by
$\frac{50}{1,000} =0.05$

c.) The probability that the person is right handed or male is given by the probability that the person is right handed plus the probability that the person is a male minus the probability that the person is both right handed and a male. This is given by
$\frac{887}{1,000} + \frac{525}{1,000} - \frac{462}{1,000} = \frac{950}{1,000} =0.95$

d.) The probability that the person is not right handed or is a male is given by the probability that the person is not right handed plus the probability that the person is a male minus the probability that the person is both not right handed and is a male.

Note that if a person is not right handed, then they are left handed.
Thus, the probability that the person is not right handed or is a male is given by
$\frac{113}{1,000} + \frac{525}{1,000} - \frac{63}{1,000} = \frac{575}{1,000} =0.575$

e.) The probability that the person is right handed and is a female is given by the probability that the person is both right handed and is a female. This is given by
$\frac{425}{1,000} =0.425$

f.) The probability that the person is male and a female is zero. Notice that a person cannot be a male and a female at the sme time, so the probability that the person is male and a female is mutually exclusive and hence is equal to zero.

g.) Two events are said to be mutually exclusive, if both events cannot happen at the same time, which means that the probability of the two events happening at the smae time is zero.

From the table, it can be seen that there are 425 females that are right handed. Thus the probability of being right handed and being a female is equal to 0.425 and not zero.

Therefore, "being right handed" and "being a female" in NOT mutually exclusive.

Answer from: Quest

the correct answer is semicircle

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is semicircle because the shorter arc joining two points on the circumference of a circle is known as the minor arc, the larger arc is called the major arc, and a semicircle is a half circle, formed by cutting a whole circle along a diameter line.

hope i .

[will give brainliest] given o below, is pq a minor arc, a major arc, or a semicircle?

Aprisoner is trapped in a cell containing three doors. the first door leads to a tunnel that returns him to his cell after two days of travel. the second leads to a tunnel that returns him to his cell after three days of travel. the third door leads immediately to freedom. (a) assuming that the prisoner will always select doors 1, 2 and 3 with probabili- ties 0.5,0.3,0.2 (respectively), what is the expected number of days until he reaches freedom? (b) assuming that the prisoner is always equally likely to choose among those doors that he has not used, what is the expected number of days until he reaches freedom? (in this version, if the prisoner initially tries door 1, for example, then when he returns to the cell, he will now select only from doors 2 and 3.) (c) for parts (a) and (b), find the variance of the number of days until the prisoner reaches freedom. hint for part (b): define ni to be the number of additional days the prisoner spends after initially choosing door i and returning to his cell.
