Expert Solution

// What is the probability of being colorblind?

P[ colorblind ] = Number of colorblind / total

P[ colorblind ] = 5268/124250

P[ colorblind ] = 0.0424

What is the probability of being Female AND Colorblind?

P[ Female AND Colorblind ] = Number of Female AND Colorblind / total

P[ Female AND Colorblind ] = 497/124250

P[ Female AND Colorblind ] = 0.004

  What is the probability of being not colorblind OR Female?

P[ not colorblind OR Female ] = ( Number of not colorblind + Number of Female - Number of not colorblind AND Female ) / total

P[ not colorblind OR Female ] = ( 118982 + 64610 - 64113 ) / 124250

P[ not colorblind OR Female ] = 119479 / 124250

P[ not colorblind OR Female ] = 0.9616

What is the probability of being colorblind GIVEN that you are male?

P[ colorblind GIVEN male ] = Number of colorblind / Number of male

P[ colorblind GIVEN male ] = 5268/59640

P[ colorblind GIVEN male ] = 0.0883

Are sex and colorblindness dependent?

P[ colorblind ] = 0.0424 is not equal to P[ colorblind GIVEN male ]

hence sex and colorblindness are dependent
