Classifying Events as Independent or Dependent In Exercises 9-14, determine whether the events are independent or dependent. Explain your reasoning.
11. Returning a rented movie after the due date and receiving a late fee

4. Determine whether the events are mutually exclusive. Then determine whether the events are independent or dependent. Explain your reasoning.

Event A: A bowler having the highest game in a 40-game tournament

Event B: Losing the bowling tournament

Using the Multiplication Rule In Exercises 19-32, use the Multiplication Rule.

26. Worst President In a sample of 1500 adult U.S. citizens, 690 said that Donald Trump was the worst president in U.S. history. Three adult U.S. citizens are selected at random.

(Adapted from YouGov)

c. Find the probability that at most two of the three adult U.S. citizens say that Donald Trump was the worst president in U.S. history.

Using the Multiplication Rule In Exercises 19-32, use the Multiplication Rule.

29. In Vitro Fertilization In a recent year, about 1.9% of all infants born in the U.S. were conceived through assisted reproductive technology (ART). Of the ART deliveries, about 26.4% resulted in multiple births. (Source: Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report)

a. Find the probability that a randomly selected infant was conceived through ART and was part of a multiple birth.

According to Bayes’ Theorem, the probability of event A , given that event B has occurred, is

P(A|B) = P(A) * P(B|A)P(A) * P(B|A) + P(A') * P(B|A').

In Exercises 33–38, use Bayes’ Theorem to find P(A|B).

33. P(A) = 2/3, P(A') = 1/3, P(B|A) = 1/5 , and P(B|A') = 1/2

Classifying Events as Independent or Dependent In Exercises 9-14, determine whether the events are independent or dependent. Explain your reasoning.

14. A ball is selected from a bin of balls numbered from 1 through 52. It is replaced, and then a second numbered ball is selected from the bin.

Classifying Events Based on Studies In Exercises 15-18, identify the two events described in the study. Do the results indicate that the events are independent or dependent? Explain your reasoning.

17. A study found that there is no relationship between playing violent video games and aggressive or bullying behavior in teenagers. (Source: The Royal Society Publishing)

According to Bayes’ Theorem, the probability of event A , given that event B has occurred, is

P(A|B) = P(A) * P(B|A)P(A) * P(B|A) + P(A') * P(B|A').

In Exercises 33–38, use Bayes’ Theorem to find P(A|B).

37. P(A) = 73%, P(A') = 17%, P(B|A) = 46% , and P(B|A') = 52%

39. Reliability of Testing A virus infects one in every 200 people. A test used to detect the virus in a person is positive 80% of the time when the person has the virus and 5% of the time when the person does not have the virus. (This 5% result is called a false positive.) Let A be the event "the person is infected" and B be the event "the person tests positive."b. Using Bayes' Theorem, when a person tests negative, determine the probability that the person is not infected.
