1. What is the probability that a person prefers dogs? P(dogs) = 2. What is the probability that a person is a female and prefers cats? P(female and cats) = 3. What is the probability that a person is a male or prefers dogs? P(male or dogs) = 4. What is the probability that a person in the class prefers cats given that they are male? P(cats | male) = 5. What is the probability that a person in the class is female given that they prefer dogs? P(female | dogs) = 6. We can ask ourselves the question, "Does a person's gender influence whether they prefer cats or dogs?" Use conditional probability to help answer this question using our class data. For example, is P(cat | male) = P(cat | female)?
