In a study of violent victimization of women and men, Porcerelli et al. (A-2) collected information from 679 women and 345 men aged 18 to 64 years at several family practice centers in the metropolitan Detroit area. Patients filled out a health history questionnaire that included a question about victimization. The following table shows the sample subjects cross-classified by sex and the type of violent victimization reported. The victimization categories are defined as no victimization, partner victimization (and not by others), victimization by persons other than partners (friends, family members, or strangers), and those who reported multiple victimization.

a)Probability that a random subject from the group will be a woman.

b)What do we call the probability calculated in part a?

c)Show how to calculate the probability asked for in part a by two additional methods.

d)Probability subject will be a woman and will have experienced partner abuse.

e)What do we call the probability calculated in part d?

f) Probability subject will be a man and experienced abuse from non-partners.

g) What do we call the probability calculated in part f?

h) Probability that the subject will be a man or someone who experienced abuse from a partner.

i) What do we call the method by which we obtained the probability calculated in part h?
