Questions 1 to 3 are based on the following contingency table: D:
1) Find P(V | W).
A) .4000 B) .0950 C) .2375 D) .5875
2) Find the probability P(V'), that is, the probability of the complement of V.
A) .30 B) .50 C) .80 D) .15
4) Within a given population, 22 percent of the people are smokers, 57 percent of the people are males, and 12 percent are males who
smoke. If a person is chosen at random from the population, what is the probability that the selected person is either a male or a
smoker?
A) .67 B) .79 C) .22 D) .43
5) Oxnard Casualty wants to ensure that their e-mail server has 99.98 percent reliability. They will use several independent servers in
parallel, each of which is 95 percent reliable. What is the smallest number of independent file servers that will accomplish the goal?
A) 1 B) 2 C) 3 D) 4
6) A company is producing two types of ski goggles. Thirty percent of the production is of type A, and the rest is of type B. Five
percent of all type A goggles are returned within 10 days after the sale, whereas only two percent of type B are returned. If a pair of
goggles is returned within the first 10 days after the sale, the probability that the goggles returned are of type B is
A) .014 B) .140 C) .070 D) .483
8) The following table shows the survival experience of 1,000 males who retire at age 65:
Number of Males
Age Surviving
65 1,000
70 907
75 775
80 596
85 383
Based on these data, the probability that a 75-year-old male will survive to age 80 is
A) .596 B) 1 − .596 = .404 C) 1 − .775 = .225 D) .769
9) Independent events A and B would be consistent with which of the following statements?
A) P(A) = .3, P(B) = .5, P(A ∩ B) = .4. B) P(A) = .4, P(B) = .5, P(A ∩ B) = .2.
C) P(A) = .5, P(B) = .4, P(A ∩ B) = .3. D) P(A) = .4, P(B) = .3, P(A ∩ B) = .5.
10) Regarding the rules of probability, which of the following statements is correct?
A) If A and B are independent events, then P(B) = P(A)P(B).
B) The sum of two mutually exclusive events is one.
C) The probability of A and its complement will sum to one.
D) If event A occurs, then its complement will also occur.
