According to a survey, 53% of the residents of a city oppose a downtown casino. Of these 53% about 7 out of 10 strongly oppose the casino. Complete parts (a) through (c). (a) Find the probability that a randomly selected resident opposes the casino and strongly opposes the casino. (b) Find the probability that a randomly selected resident who opposes the casino does not strongly oppose the casino. (c) Would it be unusual for a randomly selected resident to oppose the casino and strongly oppose the casino? Explain. (a) The probability that a randomly selected resident opposes the casino and strongly opposes the casino is nothing. (Round to three decimal places as needed.)
We are given here: P( oppose casino ) = 0.53
P( strongly oppose | oppose ) = 0.7
a) P( strongly oppose ) = P( strongly oppose | oppose )P(oppose ) = 0.7*0.53 = 0.371
Therefore 0.371 is the required probability here.
b) P(does not strongly oppose | oppose ) = 1 - P( strongly oppose | oppose ) = 1 - 0.7 = 0.3
Therefore 0.3 is the required probability here.
c) No it wont be unusual for a randomly selected resident to oppose the casino and strongly oppose the casino because the probability of this is 0.371 > 0.05
