The contingency table below describes 200 people who entered an electronic store, according to gender and age.
If a customer who entered the store is randomly selected for a survey, what is the probability that:
a. the customer is a male and under 30
b. the customer is either a male or under 30
c. Given that the selected customer is a female, what is the probability that she is 30 and over?
| Age | Male | Female | Total |
| Under 30 | 60 | 50 | 110 |
| 30 and over | 80 | 10 | 90 |
| Total | 140 | 60 | 200 |
Solution
a)
P(male and under 30) = 60/200 = 0.3 [answer]
*********
b)
P(male or under 30) = (60 + 50 + 80) / 200 = 0.95 [answer]
*************
c)
P(30 and over|female) = 10/(50+10) = 0.16666667 [answer]
