a. Find the probability that a randomly selected person from this group likes country music.
b. What is the probability that a randomly selected person from this group likes rock music and is from the North?
c. Find the probability that a randomly selected person from this group likes oldies given that they are from the South.
d. Find P(R) in decimal form. Round to two decimal places.
e. Find P(S) in decimal form. Round to two decimal places.
f. Find P(R|S) and explain if events R and S are independent or associated events.
g. Zoe and Lisa are having a disagreement about conditional probability. Zoe thinks that P(A|B)5P(B|A) for any two events A and B. Lisa says that P(A|B) and P(B|A) do not have to be equal. Pick two events from the table in problem 5 and determine who is correct.
