The table below shows the number of survey subjects who have
received and not received a speeding ticket in the last year, and
the color of their car.
Red Car | Not Red Car | Total | |
Speeding Ticket | 19 | 47 | 66 |
No Speeding Ticket | 478 | 456 | 934 |
Total | 497 | 503 | 1000 |
P( a randomly chosen person has a red car) = 497/1000 = 0.497
P( a randomly chosen person has a speeding ticket) = 66/1000 = 0.066
P( a randomly chosen person has a speeding ticket given they have a red car) = 19/497 = 0.038
P( a randomly chosen person Has a red car given they have a speeding ticket) = 19/66 = 0.288
P( a randomly chosen person Has a red car and got a speeding ticket) = 19/1000 = 0.019
P( a randomly chosen person Has a red car or got a speeding ticket.) = (497 + 66 - 19)/1000 = 544/1000 = 0.544
