Question:
According to a survey, 16% of the population is technology driven. However, these figures vary by region. For example, in British Columbia the figure is 20% and in Manitoba the figure is 17%. Sixteen percent of the Canadian population in general is in BC and 3.7% of the Canadian population is in Manitoba. Suppose a Canadian is chosen randomly.
a. What is the probability that the person lives in BC and is a technology-driven person?
b. What is the probability that the person lives in Manitoba and is a technology-driven person?
c. Suppose the chosen person is known to be technology driven. What is the probability that the person lives in BC?
d. Suppose the chosen person is known not to be technology driven. What is the probability that the person lives in Manitoba?
e. Suppose the chosen person is known to be technology driven. What is the probability that the person lives neither in BC nor in Manitoba?
