Solutions

Expert Solution

n : Number of crimes = 4

Probability that a crime is nonviolent = Number of crimes that are violent / Total number of crimes

From the given table,

Number of crimes that are violent = 82

Total number of crimes = 150

Probability that a crime is nonviolent = Number of crimes that are nonviolent / Total number of crimes = 68/150=34/75

Probability that a crime is violent = 1-Probability that a crime is nonviolent = 1-34/75 = 41/75

Probability that at least one out of four crimes is nonviolent = 1 - Probability that none of the 4 crimes are nonviolent

Probability that none of the 4 crimes are nonviolent = Probability that all 4 crimes are violent

Probability that all 4 crimes are violent

= Probability that 1st crime is violent x probability that 2nd crime is violent x probability that 3rd crime is violent x probability 4th crime is violent

= (41/75)*(41/75)*(41/75)*(41/75) = 0.089308002

Probability that none of the 4 crimes are nonviolent = Probability that all 4 crimes are violent = 0.089308002

Probability that at least one out of four crimes is nonviolent

= 1 - Probability that none of the 4 crimes are nonviolent = 1-0.089308002 = 0.910691998

Probability that at least one out of four crimes is nonviolent = 0.910691998
