2) P(less than 200) = 75% from the table

3) P(at least 120) = 100% - P(less than 120) = 100% - 20% = 80%

4) P(at least 80 but less than 160) = 10% + 10% = 20%

For the next set of questions, we create a crosstab:

 

Own

Not own

Total

LOC

4.6

7.4

12

No LOC

63.4

24.6

88

Total

68

32

100

6) P(home or LOC) = 68% + 12% - 4.6% = 75.4%

7) P(LOC | home) = 4.6/68 = 6.76%

8) P(not own | no LOC) = 24.6/88 = 27.95%

9) P(LOC and not own) = 7.4% from crosstab

 

10) P(support) = 225/500 = 45%

11) P(support | employed) = (92 + 95)/(234 + 205) = 187/439 = 42.6%

12) P(not employed | oppose) = 12/186 = 6.45%

13) P(employed | not support) = (98 + 76 + 44 + 34)/(186 + 89) = 252/275 = 91.64%

14) The technical answer is that there are no crosstab values of zero. The intuitive answer is that each position is represented in each employment category.
