no

yes


Question 4 
1. If a single card is drawn from a standard 52-card deck, what is the probability that it is either a six or a club?

Question 6 
1. For a school project, Sue interviewed a total of 100 persons who were either lawyers or salesmen. She asked them if they were happy or unhappy with their occupation. Of the 55 lawyers interviewed, 12 were unhappy, however, only 7 of the salesmen were unhappy. Suppose that one of the persons interviewed is selected at random. Find the probability that the person selected is happy.

Question 7 
1. A box contains 26 blue marbles, 16 green marbles, and 8 red marbles. Two marbles are selected at random without replacement. Let E be the event that the first marble selected is green. Let F be the event that the second marble selected is green. Find P(F|E) .


Question 8 
1. We roll a pair of dice. If the sum of the dice is 7, you pay me $25. If the sum is not 7, I pay you the number of dollars indicated by the sum of the dice. What is your expected value for 
the game?

Question 9 
1. If nine fair coins are tossed, what is the probability of obtaining at least one head and at least one tail? (Use the complement formula)






Question 10 
1. A survey revealed that 45% of people are entertained by reading books, 25% by watching TV, and 14% are entertained by both books and TV. What is the probability that a person will be entertained by books given that the person is entertained by TV? Give results to the nearest tenth of a percent.

Find the line of best fit for the following data. 
(24, 15), (26, 13), (28, 20), (30, 16), (32, 24)

y = 1.05x + 11.8
