Question
An experimental serum was injected into 500 guinea pigs. Initially, 150 of the guinea pigs had circular
cells, 225 had elliptical cells, and 125 had irregular cells. After the serum was injected, all of the guinea
pigs with circular cells were affected, 75 with elliptical cells were affected, and none of those with
irregular cells were affected. Determine the empirical probability that a guinea pig with (a) circular cells,
(b) elliptical cells, and (c) irregular cells will be affected by injection of serum.
a) The empirical probability that a guinea pig with circular cells will be affected by injection of the serum
is
(Type an integer or a simplified fraction.)
b) The empirical probability that a guinea pig with elliptical cells will be affected by injection of the
serum is.
(Type an integer or a simplified fraction.)
c) The empirical probability that a guinea pig with irregular cells will be affected by injection of the
serum is
(Type an integer or a simplified fraction.)
