Question
The Eco Pulse survey from the marketing communications firm Shelton Group asked individuals to indicate things they do that make them feel guilty (Los Angeles Times, August 15,2012). Based on the survey results, there is a 0.39 probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty about wasting food and a 0.27 probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty about leaving lights on when not in a room. Moreover, there is a 0.12 probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty for both of these reasons.
- What is the probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty for either wasting food or leaving lights on when not in a room or both (to 2 decimals)?
What is the probability that a randomly selected person will not feel guilty for either of these reasons (to 2 decimals)?

S. members indicate that lack of ethical culture within financial firms has contributed the most to the lack of trust in the financial industry. (Source: Data extracted from Global Market Sentiment Survey 2013,cfa.is/YqVCKB.) Suppose that you select a sample of 100 CFA members. What is the probability that the sample percentage indicating that lack of ethical culture within financial firms has contributed the most to the lack of trust in the financial industry will be between 50% and 55%? The probability is 90% that the sample percentage will be contained within what symmetrical limits of the population percentage?

To help answer this question, a cat enthusiast obtained a random sample of 500 Canadians, each of whom answered two questions: 1. do you have a cat? (yes or no), 2. How well do you sleep? (good, neutral, bad). The dataset “CatSleep.xlsx” contains her findings. Find the probability that a randomly selected Canadian is a bad sleeper and a cat owner. Find the probability that a randomly selected Canadian is a neutral sleeper or a cat owner. Find the probability that a randomly selected non-cat owner is a bad sleeper. That is, find the probability that a randomly selected Canadian is a bad sleeper, given they are not a cat owner Can you handwrite the solution?arrow_forward
