Question:
According to the ABS, 64% of Australian adults live in capital cities. Further, the ABS reports that about 3% of all Australian adults care for ill relatives. Suppose that, of those adults living in capital cities, 2% care for ill relatives.
(a) Use the general law of multiplication to determine the probability of randomly selecting an adult from the Australian population who lives in a capital city area and is caring for an ill relative.
(b) What is the probability of randomly selecting an adult from the Australian population who lives in a capital city area and does not care for an ill relative?
(c) Construct a probability matrix and confirm that your answers to parts (a) and (b) are listed in the matrix.
(d) From the probability matrix, determine the probability that an adult does not live in a capital city area but cares for an ill relative.
