Please help with questions 5, 6, 7 and 8:
Probability(P) = Favourable Outcomes (F)/ Total Outcomes (T)
1)
Randomly selecting Representative is Female:
F = 88C1 = 88
T = 435C1 = 435
Hence, P = 88/435 = 0.2023 20.23%
Randomly selecting Senator is Female:
F = 21C1 = 21
T = 100C1 = 100
Hence, P = 21/100 = 0.21 or 21%
2)
The probability of selecting a female senator (21%) is slightly more than that of selecting a female representative (20.23%)
3)
a)
Randomly selecting Representative is Male:
F = 347C1 = 347
T = 435C1 = 435
Hence, P = 347/435 = 0.7977 79.77%
b)
Randomly selecting Representative is Republican:
F = 241C1 = 241
T = 435C1 = 435
Hence, P = 241/435 = 0.5540 55.40%
c)
Representative is Male given Representative is Republican:
F = 218C1 = 218
T = 241C1 = 241
Hence, P = 218/241 = 0.9046 90.46%
d)
Representative is Female and Democrat:
F = 65C1 = 65
T = 435C1 = 435
Hence, P = 65/435 = 0.1494 14.94%
4)
Dependent events as there are 65 Representatives who are both Female and Democrats.
5)
a)
Randomly selecting Senator is Male:
F = 79C1 = 79
T = 100C1 = 100
Hence, P = 79/100 = 0.79 or 79%
b)
Randomly selecting Senator is not a Democrat:
F = 54C1 = 54
T = 100C1 = 100
Hence, P = 54/100 = 0.54 or 54%
c)
Senator is Female or a Republican:
F = 52C1 + 21C1 - 5C1 = 52+21-5 = 68
T = 100C1 = 100
Hence, P = 68/100 = 0.68 or 68%
d)
Senator is Male or a Democrat:
F = 79C1 + 46C1 - 30C1 = 79+46-30 = 95
T = 100C1 = 100
Hence, P = 95/100 = 0.95 or 95%
6)
Independent events as there are 0 Senators who are both Female and Independents. Ie they are mutually exclusive.
