4 (4-6.2) Create a contingency table with an example you create on your own. This can be professional or
5 personal. Explain what a contingency table is, show the table and provide an interpretation to a novice. (

89 (page 138.62) According to a global survey of 4,400 parents of children between the ages of 14-17, 44%
90 of parents spy on their teen’s Facebook account (www.msnbc.com, April 25, 2012). Assume that
91 American parents account for 10% of all parents of teens with Facebook account, of which 60% spy on
92 their teen’s Facebook account. Suppose a parent is randomly selected, and the following events are
93 defined: A= selecting an American parent and B= selecting a spying parent?
94 a. Based on the above information, what are the probabilities that can be established? (The
95 percentages translate to the probabilities, P(A) = 0.10, P(B) = 0.44, and P(B│A) = 0.60.)
96 b. Are the events A and B mutually exclusive and/or exhaustive? Explain. (Not mutually exclusive,
97 since events A and B are P(A∩B)>1.
98 It is not exhaustive events because P(A∪B) < 1.
99 c. Are the events A & B independent? Explain.
100 (Events A & B are not independent since P(B|A)≠P(B)
101 d. What is the probability of selecting an American parent given that she/he is spying parent? (The
102 probability of selecting an American parent is 0.136, given P(A|B)=0.136

104 (page 138.63) High blood pressure is common in adults who are overweight and are black American.
105 According to the AHA, 47% of black men and 43% of black women have high blood pressure. Suppose
106 84% of black men with high blood pressure are overweight and 92% of black women with high blood
107 pressure are overweight.
108 a. Find the % of black men who have high blood pressure and are overweight.
109 b. Find the % of black women who have high blood pressure and are overweight.

111 (Let event M represent the black men have high blood pressure, W represent women with high blood
112 pressure There is P (M

114 (page 138.64) According to eMarketer estimates, 88.3% of 12-to-17-years-old had a mobile phone in
115 2016. Among those with mobile phones, 84% had smartphones. Calculate the percentage of 12-to-17
116 years old who had smartphones. (Let event A correspond to “owning mobile phones” and B to “owning
117 smartphones. We have P(A) = 0.883 and (PB|A) = 0.84. Hence P(B) = P(B∩A) = 0.742 or 74.2% or
118 0.883 x 0.84 = 0.742
