Question

In a sales effectiveness seminar, a group of sales represenatives tried two approaches to selling a customer an automobile. The aggressive approach and the passive approach. For 1160 customers, the following record was kept:

 

Sales

No sales

Row total

Aggressive

270

310

580

Passive

416

164

580

Column total

686

474

1160

 

Suppose a customer is selected at random from the 1160 participating customers. Let us use the following notation for events: a = aggressive approach, pa = passive approach, s = sales, n = no sales. So P(A) is the probability that an aggressive approach was used, and so on.

(A)Compute P(S), P(S|A) and P(S|Pa)

(B)Are the events S= sale and pa =passive approach independent? explain

(C)Compute P(A and S) and P(Pa and S)

(D)Compute P(N) and P(N|A)

(E)Are the events N=no sale and a = aggressive approach independent? Explain

(F)Compute P(A or S)
