Q-4: [2+2+2+4 Marks] consider the promotion status of male and female officers of a major metropolitan police force in the eastern United States. The police force consists of 1200 officers, 960 men and 240 women. Over the past two years, 324 officers on the police force have been awarded promotions. The specific breakdown of promotion for male and female officers is shown in the following table: Man 288 672 Woman 36 204 Total Promoted Not Promoted Total Let M=event an officer is a man W=event an officer is a woman A=event an officer is promoted. If an officer is selected randomly from the 1200 police force officers find the probability that: a) The randomly selected officer is a man and is promoted; b) The randomly selected officer is a man and is not promoted; c) The randomly selected officer is a woman and is promoted; d) The officer is promoted given that the officer is man. 4 Q-5:[2+2+2+4] A concerned parents group determined the number of commercials shown in each of five children's programs over a period of time.
