a) What is the probability that a survivor was female?
Round final answer to 3 decimal places. .684Correct b) What is the probability that a survivor was in the 3rd class?
Round final answer to 3 decimal places. 0.310Correct c) What is the probability that a survivor was a female given that the person was in 3rd class?
Round final answer to 3 decimal places. .579Correct d) What is the probability that a survivor was a female and in the 3rd class?
Round final answer to 3 decimal places. .179Correct e) What is the probability that a survivor was a female or in the 3rd class?
Round final answer to 3 decimal places. .815Incorrect f) Are the events "survivor is a female" and "survivor is in 3rd class" mutually exclusive? Why or why not? Select an answer Yes because P(female and 3rd class) = 0 No because P(female and 3rd class) = 0 Yes because P(female and 3rd class) is not equal to 0 No because P(female and 3rd class) is not equal to 0 Yes because P(female or 3rd class) = 0. No because P(female or 3rd class) = 0 Yes because P(female | 3rd class) = P(female) No because P(female | 3rd class) is not equal to P(female) Yes because P(female | 3rd class) = P(3rd class) No because P(female | 3rd class) is not equal to P(3rd class) Incorrect g) Are the events "survivor is a female" and "survivor is in 3rd class" independent?
Why or why not? Select an answer Yes because P(female and 3rd class) = 0 No because P(female and 3rd class) = 0 Yes because P(female and 3rd class) is not equal to 0 No because P(female and 3rd class) is not equal to 0 Yes because P(female or 3rd class) = 0. No because P(female or 3rd class) = 0 Yes because P(female | 3rd class) = P(female) No because P(female | 3rd class) is not equal to P(female) Yes because P(female | 3rd class) = P(3rd class) No because P(female | 3rd class) is not equal to P(3rd class)
