Question

Transcribed Image Text:3.61 Fighting probability of fallow deer bucks. In Aggressiv
Behavior (Jan./Feb. 2007), zoologists investigated th
likelihood of fallow deer bucks fighting during the matin
season. During the observation period, the researchers r
corded 205 encounters between two bucks. Of these, 16
involved one buck clearly initiating the encounter with th
other. In these 167 initiated encounters, the zoologists kej
track of whether or not a physical contact fight occurre
and whether the initiator ultimately won or lost the er
counter. (The buck that is driven away by the other is co
sidered the loser.) A summary of the 167 initiated encour
ters is provided in the table on p. 143. Suppose we sele
one of these 167 encounters and note the outcome (fig)
status and winner).
a. What is the probability that a fight occurs and the init
ator wins?
b. What is the probability that no fight occurs?
c. What is the probability that there is no clea
winner?
d. What is the probability that a fight occurs or the initi
tor loses?
e. Are the events "No clear winner" and "Initiator loses
mutually exclusive?
