1. At a large factory, the employees were surveyed and classified according to their level of
education and whether they attend a sports event at least once a month. The data are shown
in the table.
Educational Level
High School Two-year Four-year
Sports Event
Graduate College Degree College Degree
Attend 16 20 24
Do not attend 12 19 25
If an employee is selected at random, find the probability that
a. The employee attends sports event regularly, given that he or she graduated
from college (2 or 4-year college degree)
b. Given that the employee is a high school graduate, he or she doesn’t attend
sports event regularly.
2. Roughly 1 out 7 students enrolled in higher education took at least one online class last
fall. Choose 5 enrolled students at random. Find the probability that
a. All 5 took online class
b. At least 1 took an online class
3. A manufacturer makes three models of a television set, models A, B, and C. A store sells
50% of model A sets, 30% of model B sets, and 20% of model C sets. Of model A sets, 3%
have stereo sound; of model B sets, 7% have stereo sound; and of model C sets, 9% have
stereo sound. If a set is sold at random, find the probability that it has stereo sound.
4. Suppose you take out two cards from a standard deck of cards one after another, without
replacing the first card. What is the probability that the first card chosen is a queen and the
second card chosen is a jack?
5. Suppose you take out two cards from a standard deck of cards one after another, without
replacing the first card. What is the probability that the first card is the ace of spades, and the
second card is a heart?
6. Suppose you take out two cards from a standard deck of cards one after another, without
replacing the first card. What is the probability that the two cards are both aces?
7. For a recent year, 0.99 of the incarcerated population is adults and 0.06 is female. If the
incarcerated person is selected at random, find the probability that the person is female
given that the person is an adult.
8. An insurance company classifies drivers as low-risk, medium-risk, and high-risk. Of those
insured, 50% are low-risk, 30% are medium risk, and 20% are high-risk. After a study, the
company finds that during the 1-year period, 1% of the low-risk drivers had an accident, 5%
of the medium-risk drivers had an accident, and 9% of the high-risk drivers had an accident.
If a driver is selected at random, find the probability that the driver will have an accident
during the year.
