4.40. An Adweek Media/Harris Poll revealed that 44% of U.S. adults in the 18–34 years category
think that “Made in America” ads boost sales. A different Harris Interactive poll showed that 78% of
U.S. adults in the 18–34 years category use social media online. Suppose that 85% of U.S. adults in
the 18–34 years category think that “Made in America” ads boost sales or use social media online. If
a U.S. adult in the 18–34 years category is randomly selected,
a. What is the probability that the person thinks that “Made in America” ads boost sales and uses
social media online?
b. What is the probability that the person neither thinks that “Made in America” ads boost sales nor
uses social media online?
c. What is the probability that the person thinks that “Made in America” ads boost sales and does
not use social media online?
d. What is the probability that the person thinks that “Made in America” ads boost sales, given that
the person does not use social media online?
e. What is the probability that the person either does not think that “Made in America” ads boost
sales or does use social media online?
4.44. The Steelcase Workplace Index studied the types of work-related activities that Americans did
while on vacation in the summer. Among other things, 40% read work-related material. Thirty-four
percent checked in with the boss. Respondents to the study were allowed to select more than one
activity. Suppose that of those who read work-related material, 78% checked in with the boss. One
of these survey respondents is selected randomly.
a. What is the probability that while on vacation this respondent checked in with the boss and read
work-related material?
b. What is the probability that while on vacation this respondent neither read workrelated material
nor checked in with the boss?
c. What is the probability that while on vacation this respondent read work-related material, given
that the respondent checked in with the boss?
d. What is the probability that while on vacation this respondent did not check in with the boss,
given that the respondent read work-related material?
e. What is the probability that while on vacation this respondent did not check in with the boss,
given that the respondent did not read work-related material?
4.48. In a U.S. consumer payment study published by TSYS, respondents were asked which payment
type feels safest for online purchases. Credit card was selected as safest by 42% of the respondents.
None of the respondents selected both credit card and debit card. Fortyseven percent selected
neither credit card nor debit card. If a survey respondent’s response was randomly selected
a. What is the probability that the respondent selected credit card and did not select debit card?
c. What is the probability that the respondent selected debit card, given that the respondent
selected credit card?
d. What is the probability that the respondent did not select credit card, given that the respondent
did not select debit card?
4.50. A small independent physicians’ practice has three doctors. Dr. Sarabia sees 41% of the
patients, Dr. Tran sees 32%, and Dr. Jackson sees the rest. Dr. Sarabia requests blood tests on 5% of
her patients, Dr. Tran requests blood tests on 8% of his patients, and Dr. Jackson requests blood
tests on 6% of her patients. An auditor randomly selects a patient from the past week and discovers
that the patient had a blood test as a result of the physician visit. Knowing this information, what is
the probability that the patient saw Dr. Sarabia? For what percentage of all patients at this practice
are blood tests requested?
4.51. A survey by the Arthur Andersen Enterprise Group/National Small Business United attempted
to determine what the leading challenges are for the growth and survival of small businesses.
Although the economy and finding qualified workers were the leading challenges, several others
were listed in the results of the study, including regulations, listed by 30% of the companies, and the
tax burden, listed by 35%. Suppose that 71% of the companies listing regulations as a challenge
listed the tax burden as a challenge. Assume these percentages hold for all small businesses. If a
small business is randomly selected, determine the following probabilities:
a. The small business lists both the tax burden and regulations as a challenge.
b. The small business lists either the tax burden or regulations as a challenge.
c. The small business lists either the tax burden or regulations but not both as a challenge.
d. The small business lists regulations as a challenge, given that it lists the tax burden as a challenge.
e. The small business does not list regulations as a challenge, given that it lists the tax burden as a
challenge. f. The small business does not list regulations as a challenge, given that it does not list the
tax burden as a challenge.
