Answer:

(i) 0.32          (ii) 0.85

(iii) 0.3412    (iv) 0.20

(v) 0.29         (vi) 0.12

Step-by-step explanation:

The data provided is as follows:

   Race                    Smoker (S)         Nonsmoker (N)             Row Total

 White(W)                    290                       560                           850

  Black(B)                     30                        120                           150

Column Total                320                       680                        1,000

(i)

Compute the value of P (S) as follows:

[tex]P(S)=\frac{n(S)}{N}=\frac{320}{1000}=0.32[/tex]

P (S) = 0.32.

(ii)

Compute the value of P (W) as follows:

[tex]P(W)=\frac{n(W)}{T}=\frac{850}{1000}=0.85[/tex]

P (W) = 0.85.

(iii)

Compute the value of P (S|W) as follows:

[tex]P(S|W)=\frac{n(S\cap W)}{n(W)}=\frac{290}{850}=0.3412[/tex]

P (S|W) = 0.3412.

(iv)

Compute the value of P (S|B) as follows:

[tex]P(S|B)=\frac{n(S\cap B)}{n(B)}=\frac{30}{150}=0.20[/tex]

P (S|W) = 0.20.

(v)

Compute the value of P (S∩W) as follows:

[tex]P(S\cap W)=\frac{n(S\cap W)}{T}=\frac{290}{1000}=0.29[/tex]

P (S∩W) = 0.29.

(vi)

Compute the value of P (N∩B) as follows:

[tex]P(N\cap B)=\frac{n(N\cap B)}{T}=\frac{120}{1000}=0.12[/tex]

P (S∩W) = 0.12.
