a.Show a joint probability table.
b.What is the probability a respondent is female?
c.What is the conditional probability a respondent uses social media and other websites to voice options about television programs given the respondent is female?
d.Let F denote the event that the respondent is female and A denote the event that the respondent uses social media and other websites to voice options about television program. Are events F and A independent ?
B. The college board reported the following mean scores for the three parts of the SAT ( The world Almanac, 2009):
Critical reading 502
Mathematics 515
Writing 494
Assume that the population standard deviation on each part of the test is 100.
a.What is the probability that a random sample of 90 test takers will provide a sample mean test score within 10 points of the populations mean of 502 on the critical reading part of the test?
b.What is the probability that a random sample of 90 test takers will provide a sample mean test score within 10 points of the population mean of 515 on the mathematics part of the test ? Complete this Probability to the value computed in part (a).
