Question:
Firefighter glove sizing. Human Factors (December 2015) published a study on how well firefighter gloves fit. In a group of 586 firefighters who reported their glove size, the researchers determined whether the gloves fit well or poorly, by gender. The data are summarized in the accompanying table. Consider the gender and glove fit status of a randomly selected firefighter.
a. List the sample points for this experiment.
b. Assign reasonable probabilities to these sample points.
c. Find the probability the firefighter is a female.
d. Find the probability the glove fits well.
e. Find the probability the firefighter is a female and has a well-fitting glove.
f. Find the probability the firefighter is a female or has a well-fitting glove. Glove Fits Well Glove Fits Poorly Totals Males 415 132 547 Females 19 20 39 Totals 434 152 586 Source: H.
