using this table of empirical probabilities, answer A and B
A. P($300 lessthan purchase lessthan $1000=
B. odds in favor of a purchase of $1000 or more is
a.) A=.37, B=7:93 b.) A=.37, B=93:7 c.) A=.78, B=7:93 d.)A=.78, B= 93:7
| Purchase | Probability |
| Under $100 | .21 |
| $100-$299 | .35 |
| $300-$499 | .22 |
| $500-$999 | .15 |
| $1000 or more | .07 |
Solution
A:
P($300 < purchase <$1000)= 0.22+0.15=0.37
B:
Odds in favor of purchase of $1000 or more is
odds = (number of ways events can occur) : (number of ways events cannot occur)=0.07: (0.21+0.35+0.22+0.15)= 7 : 93
Hence, option (a) is correct.
