Please show your work. Thanks.
// 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
