Document Summary
1. suppose two out of 11 pieces of hardwood are defective. Suppose a and b are events with p(b) > 0. The conditional probability of the event a given the event b has occurred, p(a|b), is: The experiment consists of rolling a fair, six-sided die and recording the number that lands face up. A = {1} = roll a 1 and b ={1, 3, 5} = roll an odd number. Find p(a| b), the probability of rolling a one given that an odd number was rolled. Over the past several decades, the nature of the u. s. labor force has changed dramatically. More women are searching for jobs, more men are staying home with children, and senior citizens are remaining in their jobs longer. Bureau, for married-couple family groups, 84. 9% of all fathers are employed; and in. 57. 5% of these households, both parents are employed. 13 suppose a married couple family group is selected at random.
