Exercise 3:
In a garden center: 25% of the plants are less than a year old, 60% are 1 to 2 years old, 25% have yellow flowers, 60% have pink flowers, 15% have yellow flowers and less than a year old , 3% are more than 2 years old and have neither yellow nor pink flowers. 15% of those who are 1 to 2 years old have
yellow flowers, 15% of those 1-2 years old have neither yellow nor pink flowers. It is assumed that the flowers cannot be both yellow and pink at the same time. We choose a plant at random in this garden center.
What is the probability that it is less than a year old and has pink flowers?
What is the probability that she has pink flowers, given that she is over 2 years old?
What is the probability that it is over two years old and has yellow flowers?
Salinity in Quebec river is a combination of tides and rain. Rain that diluted the salt occurs about 10% of the time, while the non salty outgoing tides occurs twice per day. You take your dog for a walk down by the river at random during the weekend and notice that he'll drink from the river 30% of the time when the salt is sufficiently low.
someone points out that the saltiness doesn't depend on the local rain but on the rain upriver. Assume that at any time it is possible to have 3 independent rainstorms upriver , all with the same 10% probability of occurrence that you see at the city. What is the probability of no rain upriver ? Of 1 rain ? Of more than one ? please tell which probability formula you use

- A nutritionist wants to conduct a study to determine the efficacy of eating beans as an aid in weightloss. She randomly assigns half of a group of overweight people to a treatment group who are given a planned diet which includes a variety of beans at two meals each day for six weeks. The other half of the group is given the same diet without the beans. Both diets are designed to have the same caloric content. A nurse at the nutrition center weighs each subject on Friday of each week. Select the potential source of confounding (if any).A) Experimenter effectB) Placebo effectC) Method of assignment to treatment and control groupsD) The study is essentially free of confounding sources.arrow_forwardLarge companies typically collect volumes of data before designing a product, not only to gain information as to whether the product should be released, but also to pinpoint which markets would be the best targets for the product. Several months ago, I was interviewed by such a company while shopping at a mall. I was asked about my exercise habits and whether or not I'd be interested in buying a video/DVD designed to teach stretching exercises. I fall into the male, 18 – 35-years-old category, and I guessed that, like me, many males in that category would not be interested in a stretching video. My friend Amanda falls in the female, older-than-35 category, and I was thinking that she might like the stretching video. After being interviewed, I looked at the interviewer's results. Of the 97 people in my market category who had been interviewed, 16 said they would buy the product, and of the 101 people in Amanda's market category, 31 said they would buy it.
