In a random sample of 1,000 people, it is found that 7% have a liver ailment. Of those who have a liver ailment, 6% are heavy drinkers, 55% are moderate drinkers, and 39% are nondrinkers. Of those who do not have a liver ailment, 13% are heavy drinkers, 44% are moderate drinkers, and 43% are nondrinkers.

If a person is chosen at random, and he or she is a heavy drinker, what is the probability of that person having a liver ailment?

If a person is chosen at random, what is the probability the person is a moderate drinker?

People enter a restaurant and check their hat at the coat check, but since the worker is new, he makes the mistake of throwing all the hats in a pile. When the patrons return to claim their hats at the end of the evening, the worker gives each person a random hat from the pile.Ā Ā 

1. What is the probability that no one receives their own hat back if there are only 2guests?

2. What is the probability that no one receives their own hat back if there are 3 guests?

3. What is the probability that no one receives their own hat back if there are 4 guests?

4. What is the probability that no one receives their own hat back if there are 8 guests?

5.What is the probability that no one receives their own hat back if there are 10 guests?

To solve, build a systematic method. For example, one way you could do it is by defining several events, where P_i = the number of ways of a person i to recive their hat correctly, and then the number of ways that at least one person to recive their hat is the union of P_1,...,P_n; finally, you can count this using inclusion/exlusion, then count the complement to finish the problem.Ā

An exercise physiologist classifies people ā€“ on the basis of their body mass index, heart rate, and lung capacity ā€“ as (a) above average in terms of fitness or (b) below average in terms of their fitness. He then directs the same people to walk on a treadmill, individually, at an increasing speed until they can no longer walk. He records the speed of the treadmill when a person maxes out on walking. He wants to know if there is a difference in the maximum walking speed for patients who have undergone knee replacement in the last ten years based on fitness level. A total of 100 people participated in the study.
